Ah yes, torn apart by the Mazil's "pack". True, so very true. :-)
I'd also not be surprised if local law has a provision along the lines of "a kidnapper of children is outside the law and there is no debt owed for his blood". That sort of thing was fairly common for some crimes, and would nicely end any questions about his death.
Most folks don't realize that that sort of thing is where the term "outlaw" comes from. Literally "outside the law". Meaning that there were no penalties for anything anyone did to one.
