Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

We're told of Antigone's death in the parodos (more or less the last act or the epilogue) of the play!. When Creon finally caved in and accepted the chorus's advice to free Antigon and bury Polyneices, he once again got things backwards and had Polyneices buried first, and when he arrived at the tomb where he had had her shut up, he had it broken in only to find that she had hanged herself and that his son Haemon had somehow got in and was holding her body and weeping!. When Haemon saw Creon, he stabbed himself, and when Creon's wife hears the news, she also commits suicide (offstage, of course), so that when Creon arrives back at his palace with the two bodies, he learns that the last person who matters to him is also dead, that his wrongful order and his stubbornness in sticking to it for so long have brought about the destruction of his personal world!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I don't have your version but look for it in the third part when the messenger describes her and Haemon's suicides!.

My source is The Harvard Classics version, around Line 4000 (http://www!.bartleby!.com/8/6/3!.html):

We saw her hanging by a twisted cord
Of linen threads entwined, !.!.!.

In other words, she hanged herself!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
