Nope. That person did not die from that disease (or, at least, there is nothing about that in the books).

I believe you speak of Frodo Baggins, who after returning to the Shire had long periods of illness, especially around the aniversary of his stabbing on Amon Sûl. Because of this vulnerability, he was forced to sail west.

Legate of Amon Lanc · 12-01-2007, 05:01 AM

No, no... it was only one specific kind of disease and this person was vulnerable to it.

Thinlómien · 12-03-2007, 08:15 AM

I keep thinking of Bilbo Baggins and his famous flu, but that is not probably the correct answer...

Legate of Amon Lanc · 12-03-2007, 09:55 AM

No, though you are getting closer.

Legate of Amon Lanc · 01-23-2008, 04:40 PM

A hint: you won't find the disease this person was vulnerable to in any medic's handbook.

The Might · 03-27-2008, 01:25 PM

Maybe... another hint?
