Aragorn's mistake concerning the army raised from the Paths of the Dead - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I don't think Baldor died of fear, rather, he probably died of something more practical and realistic, hunger and thirst. He had trapped himself inside the Paths (and I'm assuming that his was the skeleton that Aragorn & Co. found in the Paths) and since dead men don't need food or drink, there was none in there. Baldor slowly starved to death, and eventually tried to hack his way out, breaking his sword (which Aragorn & Co. also found).
