Isildur’s Darkest Fate Wasn’t Shown in the Movies…

The Lord of the Rings movies showed us how Isildur lost the One Ring—but Tolkien’s later writings reveal a much darker mystery surrounding his remains. Saruman eventually recovered Isildur’s golden chain and the Elendilmir… but what happened to Isildur’s body?
Tolkien never explicitly confirmed that Saruman burned the remains, leaving one of Middle-earth’s darkest mysteries open to interpretation.
