He is eventually found drowned in a river. It quickly becomes apparent that he, along with Yurek and Zeevik, had regularly run through the woods at night, a result of having hidden in the forest for two years during the Holocaust. Yurek and Zeevik cease this behavior temporarily, to the relief of the headmasters and their peers, before resuming it several months later. ........
