The stage direction, "He dies" is a pretty good clue. Just in case the actor isn't very convincing, he has Edgar say shortly after, "He is gone indeed"

Did the fool tell King Lear he would make a good fool?
no he did not!
What are the Fool's important quotes in Shakespeare's play King Lear And can you tell me the analysis of them?
"The fool doth think he is wise, but the wise man knows himself to be a fool" - This is not from King lear. It is a qoute from Shakespears "As you like it". More importantly, a important quote from the fool is; "Have more than thou showest. Speak less than thou knowest. Lend less than thou owest."
Why do Kent and Cordelia remain loyal to King Lear?
They both have genuine affection for him. So does the Fool. All three of them get into trouble for telling Lear the truth, yet these are the three that stick by him through thick and thin. They tell him the truth because they see that he is deluded and they care about him; Regan and Goneril tell him what he wants to hear because they see that he is deluded and do not care about him at all, just what they can get from him.
Did Creon hide Antigone and tell everyone that she was dead?
No, Theban King Creon didn't hide Antigone and tell everyone that she was dead. The punishment for violating the King's law was death by stoning. The King commuted the sentence to imprisonment in an isolated, remote, walled up cave. Antigone's procession to the cave was witnessed by the chorus and by the King.
When was King John by William Shakespeare written?
The play King John appears on a list of Shakespeare plays dated 1598, so it is no later than that. Another similar play is dated 1589, and although it is difficult to tell which came first, most scholars guess that Shakespeare's was later. Therefore it must have been written between 1589 and 1598

When were William Shakespeare's plays officially published?
I don't know what "officially published" means, or how you would tell whether a publication is "official" or not. The truth is that about half of Shakespeare's plays were published at various times in his lifetime, the earliest being Titus Andronicus and Henry VI Part 2 in 1594. All of the histories except Henry VIII and King John, as well as the tragedies Hamlet, Romeo and Juliet, Othello and King Lear (and Titus as we've already noted), and the comedies Love's Labour's Lost, The Merry Wives of Windsor, Much Ado About Nothing, A Midsummer Night's Dream and The Merchant of Venice, as well as the oddball plays Pericles and Troilus and Cressida were all published in Shakespeare's lifetime in what is called Quarto form. After his death, all his plays (except Pericles and The Two Noble Kinsmen which didn't get published until 1634) were published in an omnibus volume in 1623 called the First Folio. Sometimes the different versions of the plays are quite different (e.g. the Quarto and Folio versions of Hamlet and King Lear) which causes debates over which one is better, since neither is "official".
