When does lady Madeline die in The Fall of the House of Usher?

Answer 1

She falls into a catatonic state, is pronounced dead and then entombed alive.

She regains consciousness, struggles out of her tomb, makes her way to

her brother (who had been afraid to tell that she was still alive, though he

knew it) and drops dead on him (literally), scaring him to death (also literally).

Answer 2

Lady Madeline dies at the end of the story, when she unexpectedly rises from her tomb and collapses on her brother, Roderick Usher, causing his death as well. It is a dramatic and supernatural conclusion to the tale.

Answer 3

Lady Madeline is Roderick Usher's twin sister. She is sick with a disease called catalepsy. One with this disease is in a trance-like state with loss of voluntary motion and failure to react to stimuli. The narrator of the short story and Roderick assume that Madeline is dead (since she has a cataleptic shock) and proceed to entomb her for two weeks. She later walks through Roderick's bedroom door, falls on her brother and kills him...they both die
