As legaleagle48 intimated, a lot of the ideas people have about Sherlock Holmes do not come from the Conan-Doyle canon. It is interesting to note that even after retirement, Holmes acted as a spy for his country in the run-up to the Great War (WW 1), as revealed in the short story “His Last Bow.”

That’s why he eventually retired in the books, Garfield!

I think I’d rather have that happen to me than fade away in a second rate care home.

He didn’t die then. Conan-Doyle had to bring him, and Moriatey, back. His publishers wouldn’t let him kill Holmes

This topic thread reminds me of HT Webster’s Death of Sherlock Holmes cartoon, which I tried to find a link to an online image but to no avail.
