Friar John responds saying he was unable to deliver the letter because he was confined due to a plague epidemic. Friar Lawrence becomes agitated as he realizes that if Romeo is unaware of Juliet's false death, there will be no one to bring her back from the grave when she awakens. He decides to go to Mantua himself to warn Romeo and then return home as soon as possible. Meanwhile, Romeo has been searching for evidence that Juliet is still alive when he discovers that she has been buried in a tomb marked "Juliet". Overcome with grief, he dies. His body is taken to Paris where it is buried beside that of his love. After hearing about Romeo's death, Friar Laurence travels to Montague's castle to inform Prince Escalus that his nephew has also died. As he leaves, he sees the tomb that Romeo had built for Juliet and weeps over her dead body. The next day, Montague visits the tomb with Capulet to pay their respects to Romeo. They find the body of another young man inside the tomb who they believe to be a murderer named Tybalt. An angry Capulet threatens violence against Montague if he ever finds out who he really murdered. Upon returning home, Montague tells his wife that something must have happened to Romeo because he never found the body of the supposed murderer.
