died from the stuff in the basin... the stuff that nearly  killed
Dumbledore.

>It also tickles other questions:

* How  did RAB find out where the locket horcrux was?

>* How did he get past  Voldemort's protections? He apparently needed a
2nd person. Assuming RAB is  Regulus, he may have used Kreacher as the
2nd person. If so, Kreacher can be  a very rich source of information
about where other Horcruxes may be. If  Kreacher was the 2nd person,
then he probably wasn't as quick to save RAB as  Harry was to help
Dumbledore.

Nikkalmati:
 
Yes, these problems have been discussed re the locket.  My own theory  is 
that Regulus heard Bella discussing her mission with LV or someone else and  when 
she came to Grimauld Place, he made the switch then.   Bella  followed 
instructions but she placed the dummy necklace in the cave without  realizing it.  
(The light was kind of low in the cave).  That  eliminates the complex problem 
of getting Regulus and possibly Kreacher in  and out of the cave.IMHO.
