The death of Curufin

"Celegorm stirred up his brothers to prepare an assault upon Doriath. They came at unawares in the middle of winter, and fought with Dior in the Thousand Caves; and so befell the second slaying of Elf by Elf. There fell Celegorm by Dior's hand, and there fell Curufin, and dark Caranthir." The Silmarillion, Chapter 22: Of the Ruin of Doriath In this version, Curufin is still alive when Maedhros and Maglor find him - and with his last breath, asks if the Silmaril is safe... and Maedhros lies to him to ease his passing to Mandos.
