To help me answer your question accurately, please tell me:
* Which Abner are you referring to? For example, is it Abner from the Bible, Abner from "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer," or someone else?
* What do you mean by "die like a fool"? Do you mean he died in a foolish way, or do you mean his death was an act of folly?
Once you provide more context, I can give you a more specific and helpful answer.
