I have read about it and have that it obviously was not just me with this problem. Apparently, when walking from the castle, he can sometimes fall off the bridge and die. The odd thing about this was he was no where near the bridge, he was near the stables, outside one of the gates! This made me a bit mad, since it was the last house I needed to buy and not to mention the most expensive house. In the next profile, I went straight to Skingrad to find Shum gro-Yarug and now I have the wonderful house still doesn't explain how he got way over to the stables.... trampled? Dragged himself away from the bridge to get help? Someone rolled down, even though ( if i remember correctly) there was no hill.
Anyway, have you guys had any experiences finding him dead too? Share your stories !!!
