In the moments before Old Ben's death, the bear is sniffed out by Lion and the animals engage in a savage fight in which Lion is fatally wounded. Also, the bear falls, Sam is found inexplicably lying face-down in the mud, unconscious. When the doctor investigates Sam, he says the old man has simply just given up. Sam dies a few days after the bear is killed.
