Was he killed?[edit source]
It isn't categorically stated that the Captain of the Haven was neccessarily "killed" but rather Aragorn "overthrew" him. I believe a note should be added to address this issue and that it should remain open-ended.--Tolkienator 03:13, 10 April 2021 (UTC)
- I think that we can agree that he presumably died also someone correct me if I'm wrong, overthrew in a sense means getting killed.--Shivam 04:22, 10 April 2021 (UTC)
- I agree with Tolkienator and I disagree with Shivam. The verb "to overthrow" does not necessarily mean to "kill" someone. I think that the same Verb should be used in the article that Tolkien used. Also the page in the Surprise attack on Umbar should be corrected. I partly corrected the Surprise attack on Umbar page in the past if you look on its page history --Akhorahil 06:16, 10 April 2021 (UTC)
- Ofcourse I am not sure. I might be wrong.--Shivam 07:55, 10 April 2021 (UTC)
