why did dimmsdale die?

im a little confused as to why dimmsdale died in the end of the book. maybe i just cant read or skipped over that part or something, but when i read it it was just like "oh look im the man who hester had sex with" and then "oh look im dead"
im a little confused.

  1. I think it's just like a cathartic thing.. idk? maybe he just gave up on himself cause he was so sick and stuff and the guilt has been eating him up until he told everyone he was Pearl's father.
