Haha well I'm glad you like my work. I'm not certain whether the death is real or fictional though as it was a commission and he didn't volunteer too much. ^^;

Year 1902: Scrooge McDuck isn't a multi-millionaire yet, but he's travelled the globe for riches for three decades, having struck it rich in the Yukon gold rush, when he's coming home with 8 barrels full with his meager first million to visit his family in Dismal Downs in his native Scottish Highlands. It's a bit hard to make out, but the lines read the following:
Scrooge's father Fergus: "Coom along, Scroogey! Let's get your cart up t' the castle so ye can rest oop!"
Scrooge: "Okay, pa...but drop me off on the way so I can visit ma."
Rosa did a second version of old Scrooge as we know him visiting the same grave (now with his father also in the ground) in the 1950s, as he's visiting Castle McDuck again with Donald and the nephews to find the lost treasures of the Knights Templars that in the 1300s upon the seizure of all the order's continental holdings by the Pope and the French king were entrusted to the clan MacDuich that centuries later would anglicize their name as McDuck.

Aw ~ One thing I've always admired about the Scrooge comics and cartoon is the accuracy with which everything is portrayed. The creator was notoriously anal about things like that. Locations were always real places, and if there was a formula written up on a blackboard it was always real. xD

You see, there ain't just one "creator" to all the comics and cartoons. "Disney" really means an industry comparable to the superhero franchises.
As for the comics, Scrooge was originally created by Carl Barks who drew for Disney from the early 1940s to the mid-1960s and also single-handedly invented Duckburg: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carl_Barks Barks is recognized as "the good artist", "The Duck Man", and one of 20th century's greatest storytellers in any medium.
The above scan, however, is from a story Barks's successor Don Rosa who drew stories from the late 1980s up until the mid-2000s. Rosa is kinda notorious especially among the old-school Barks fans who feel he's messing too much with Barks's universe by trying to make everything stick to a consistent continuity and by having a much more adult, "dirtier", more adult drawing style often likened to that of underground artists such as Robert Crumb, not to mention he's also adding more mature themes into Disney comics, such as death and raunchiness: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don_Rosa
And the cartoons were created by a whole bunch of people working at Disney's where nobody ever stood out as much as an international star as did and do Barks and Rosa, be it the 1930s-1950s shorts, the 1950s-1960s TV specials, or the 1987-1990 Ducktails series.

You are way too knowledgeable on this stuff so I'll defer to you on it. All I know is that I loved the cartoons and read a few strips, and I learned a bit about some of the old comics in a class on the medium. xD
