Harold died unexpectedly while conducting fieldwork in one of his caves. A past meeting in Paris revealed his comical struggle against the incongruity of aging. He drove a small rented Mini, emphasizing his physicality awkwardly. He dressed warmly in a shapka, which he may have bought for himself, showing a humorous acceptance of his situation. This blend of appearance and demeanor evoked thoughts of Holbein portraits, capturing the secret melancholy behind grand personas, suggesting a deeper understanding of Harold's essence and struggles. His life seemed a reflection of the artistic sadness he reminded one of.
Harold's last fieldwork in a cave ended tragically as he passed away there, an unexpected choice considering his age and previous demeanor.
