Who dies in The Little Mermaid 1?

Answer 1

In the original fairy tale, Ariel (Can't recall her original name) dies. Her deal with the sea witch was she could not touch water or she would die. When Eric (Can't recall his original name) marries someone else, the sea witch gives her a knife to kill him and she can return to the sea. She finds she can't bring herself to do it and commits suicide by jumping in the water.

In the Disney movie, Prince Eric stabs Ursula and she dies.

Answer 2

Ursula tries to execute the mermaid princess with blasts from the trident.

Ariel just barely manages to survive each blast. Ursula then raises the trident and prepares an unavoidable, fatal blast for Ariel. The princess gapes in Horror, certain of her doom. Just before Ariel's execution can be carried out, Ursula is defeated by Eric, who drives the sunken ship's broken mast into her abdomen, and she sinks into the ocean with the ship, while Eric barely managed to escape. With Ursula gone, her evil spells also cease to function; the polyps turn back into merpeople and escape from Ursula's hideout.
