    He supposedly did die from that. He was cremated so nobody actually knows for certain aside from the romanticized writings. He was deified after death, so it’s likely that tons of stuff we know about the events are twisted.

    I’m saying the assassination failed because even after he died his lineage took power. They wanted to prevent a monarchy.
