[QUOTE=Farael](he fought him with his sword and then the balrog fell down the precipice and died)[QUOTE]
This is actually untrue. He fought with the Balrog on the Bridge of khazad-Dum, then they fell down. They landed in water, and the Balrog ran up the endless stair to the top of Zirak-Zigil, where they had the final battle, and Gandalf threw down the Balrog, but Gandalf died as well (or at least Gandalf the Grey). He was later reincarnated on Zirak-Zigil as Gandalf the white, and taken to Lorien by Gwaihir to be given new Garments.
