So I understand I am a little late to the party... but I have been replaying the game got caught up on the Bard's College quest and did some thinking. Whether or not it is Numinex's skull in Dragonsreach is for another topic, as is the full meaning of his name. For how he died? What if it was the Dragonrend shout. It is said that it forces dragons to land as they are so overcome with the prospect of mortaility. If Olaf could indeed shout, and knew of this shout somehow, and used this as a form of torturous abuse on Numinex could it be enough to bring about his Mortality? Dragons are beings of immense power and could constant contemplation of one's own mortality be enough for him to magically end his immortal nature by sheer will alone? If only looked at from a "How could an Immortal being die?" point of view it seems like at least a possibility to me.
