I reckon it was the fall - if he could run about three miles from the tombs to the precipice being on fire obviously didn't affect him that much...

Davem has a good point there. Denethor did a real good impersonation of The Balrog, I wonder if he thought he could fly without wings also, oops maybe I shouldnt have said that

Don't have my ROTK handy, but doesn't Denethor say somewhere in the text that he began wearing an asbestos undershirt day and night?

Is that in case The King Returned and he got fired?
