Answer by  WkdWtchOfTheWst (17)

I'm sorry to be the one to tell you this, but he dies toward the end of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. I don't want to spoil it more by telling you who he was fighting alongside or against, but I can say that his death hit me hard and I haven't read the book again since.
