Rapunzel did not die in the original or most popular versions of her story. In the Brothers Grimm fairy tale, Rapunzel is rescued by a prince after living locked in a tower, and they eventually marry and live happily ever after. The prince is blinded after falling onto thorns, but Rapunzel's tears restore his sight when they reunite. There is no mention of Rapunzel dying in this tale.

In the Disney movie "Tangled," Rapunzel does not die either. Though there is conflict and danger involving Gothel and Eugene (Flynn Rider), Rapunzel ultimately survives and marries Eugene. Gothel dies after Rapunzel's hair is cut off and loses its magic, but Rapunzel lives and returns to her kingdom happily.

There are other versions and theories where Rapunzel suffers or even dies. For example, one twisted fairy tale version tells that Rapunzel dies from a heart attack after one of her twins drowns, but this is not the mainstream or original story. Another version tells a tragic story about the historical woman who might have inspired the Rapunzel tale, who was tortured and executed, but this is separate from the fairy tale character.

In summary:

• Classic fairy tale Rapunzel does not die; she lives happily with her prince.

• Disney's Rapunzel survives after defeating Gothel and marries Eugene.

• Some darker versions or historical inspirations mention death, but these are not typical endings.

So, typically, Rapunzel does not die in the well-known stories.
