Someone on Yahoo Answers asked the following question:

“If you died in Narnia, what would happen to you in the real world?”

The person stated that of course Narnia was not real, but within the world created by the books (and C.S. Lewis’ mind), what would happen?

I gave this answer:

“Jill and Eustace have a discussion about this in The Last Battle and come to no conclusion. But in Prince Caspian, during the short timeout in the duel with Miraz, Peter says to Edmund, “Give my love to–to everyone at home, Ed, if he gets me.” So according to the high king, you aren’t alive in our world. If you die in Narnia you do really die. Why would there be so much anguish over the possibility of Edmund being killed by the White Witch if he would just be sent back to our world? As far as the bodies, I believe they would remain in Narnia. When King Frank and Queen Helen died in Narnia, did two corpses appear in England? I highly doubt it.”
