How did arthur die in Great Expectations by Charles Dickens?

Arthur, also known as "Pip's convict," does not die in Great Expectations. He disappears from the story after escaping with the help of Pip and Herbert.

While Dickens doesn't explicitly state what becomes of Arthur, it's implied that he sails away to a new life, leaving his past behind him. The novel ends with Pip and Herbert settling down happily, and there is no mention of Arthur's fate beyond his departure.
