All my husband did was lay around the house eating everlasting bread, and so I finally decided to make use of the fact that he could follow me. I took him to raid a Stormcloak fortress, and then I get cold feet and tell him to go home so he doesn't get killed. Fast forward a few days. I'm in Solitude, and I get an inheritance letter telling me he died. Dead. Hmmm. Since he wasn't even doing anything, I'm guessing he got mobbed by mudcrabs or eaten by bloodthirsty bunny rabbits.
