5. What I mean is how he dies...

I've heard two versions:

1. A bunch of Hedonists ask him to come to a party to forget about losing Eurydice. He refuses, and they kill him.

2. A bunch of women want to be Orpheus' new girlfriend. He refuses, and they chop his head off and throw it in the river.

An alternate addition to either one of these is that one of the big-name Roman gods sees all this, feels bad, and turns Orpheus into a constellation so he can be in the sky with Eurydice forever.
