Quote from user: NectariaQuote from user: KeikoIn Don Rosa's commentory on "A Little Something Special", he said he thought Scrooge's final fate would be to return to Goldie someday, which he also hinted at in-story with "The quest for Kalevala". Combine that with the comment that instead of dying, Scrooge would just "disappear", I think a good guess as to what would became of him is that when he felt it was time, he left a note for his nephews telling them all his money and businesses were theirs now, thanks for all their adventures together etc etc. and he was now going on his final adventure, and they were not to try and find him. He returns to Dawson to finally marry Goldie, and lives the rest of his years peacefully with her, far away from any media attention or to the knowledge of his relatives, which is how he would "disappear". Donald and his nephews would probably be guessing where he went, but they'd keep it a secret. Years later, they receive a letter telling them their uncle passed away, so they travel to the Yukon to visit his grave. Per the drawing.

Well, it could have gone like that, couldn't it?
It's interesting and sad to hear from Don Rosa that Scrooge's final fate would be to return to Goldie and trying to marry with her. Too bad that he didn't marry Goldie but it would be great if there was a story where Scrooge married her. I don't think Don will make a story about Scrooge's death because it would upset many readers when they realized that he died in this story.
Don Rosa probably wouldn't write a story about Scrooge's death for the same reason he didn't write a story bringing Scrooge and Goldie together no matter how much he might like to; simply to keep with the status quo of the character. It might be why Scrooge is reunited with his sister Matilda in "A letter from home", but you still don't have her mentioned in any of the stories Rosa wrote after that (though it weren't that many before he retired).
