He may have died in one piece, and over time the the rest of his bones tumbled off the ledge and fell further into the chasm. The question is, did he die quickly and mercifully, possibly by striking an outcropping wrong and breaking his neck, or slowly and painfully of starvation and possibly other injuries?

So is this idol actually magic, or just symbolic, like a mascot? I mean, sure, a populous would be pretty outraged if someone stole a valuable item from its coffers, or desecrated the grave of the town founder, or something, but it's no excuse to let the whole place go to pot. Is the lesson here one of civic pride, or learning to let go of prejudice? I'm not sure.
