HBO's A Song of Ice and Fire
Method of Madness:
(click to show/hide)Have you not read books four and five? Brienne finds the guy who buried the Hound's body, and left the helm on the grave, where it was stolen and used by several of Lady Stoneheart's associates to convince people the Hound was still alive and allied with her and the Lord of Lightning. The show seems to have the Hound die of an infected bite, with no ambiguity about it, with Brienne seeing him die (which doesn't take away the possibilities of the same things happening if they bury him and mark his grave with his helm, but the difference is we'll know he's dead for sure sooner than we did in the books).
Unless you mean you're not sure that's what killed him, in which case...maybe, he made it to the place where he was buried. I guess anything could've killed him there, really.

(click to show/hide)Yes I have. You may want to ponder these question:
Who is the large man we get a glimpse of at the monastery at the end of volume five?
Why is there a warhorse in the monastery stable?
Who is this ser Strong who came out of nowhere and joined the Kingsguard?
Who would be his dramatically appropriate opponent in queen Cercei's trial by combat?
It would be just like Martin if this was just a smokescreen, of course. But then again, maybe not.

(click to show/hide)In the books, he dies from wounds received at the inn.

So I guess you haven't heard of this? http://asoiaf.westeros.org/index.php/topic/60808-the-gravedigging-hound-complete-analysis/ (book spoilers in the link)
(click to show/hide)Also, Martin only seems to kill people off if you explicitly witness their death first hand as the reader, he leaves The Hound's "death" open ended and left to our imagination. This probably means that he may still be alive, the same can probably be said of his brother who people believe to be Robert Strong from the second Dance of Dragons book.

(click to show/hide)As awesome as that would be, the Quiet Isle is supposed to be a place of seclusion, the Elder Brother keeps the happenings of Westeros secret so as not to disturb them. Even if the Gravedigger is who we think he is, it's very unlikely they'd send one of their own all the way to King's Landing for anything.
