Kenshin died from lepresy. Also, Kenshin had passed this disease to Kaoru through sexual intercourse.

^^ That's not canon, that happened only in the second OVA (Reflection). In the manga, Kenshin does not die. His Hiten Mitsurugi Ryuu becomes ineffective due to the strain it has exerted on his body so he can't use it anymore. He retires and lives happily ever after with Kaoru.

Ohh and I don't think that was supposed leprosy. Different people have different theories on what the disease was but it may very well not be a real disease. It's something he got from using his swordsmanship too much.

Kenshin didn't die in the manga.. He lived happily ever after. But he died in the non canon OVA titled Reflections. He contracted some kind of a disease. Leprosy, shingles?? for all we know it could be AIDS ^_^ Kauro got infected too through sexual intercourse. He wandered again after feeling guilty of living a happy life after marriage to Kauro. He did eventually find his way home (with Sano's help)and died at Kauro's arms. The X mark on his face disappeared as he took his last breath indicating that he was finally freed from the horrors of his past.. sigh! poor Kenshin..

Would help if you said which Kenshin you were referring to..

The only 'Kenshin' i can think of off the the top of my head is Himura, who features in Rurouni Kenshin/Samurai X.

~ Spoilers: Seriously don't read if you havent watched the series yet ~

Himura Kenshin dies in the last OVA, Samurai X: Reflection from an unknown disease. It's been speculated that the disease is similar to that of Leprasy.

However, Kenshin didn't die in the manga, or the original anime series of Rurouni Kenshin.

In the manga and anime, no. He was never shown dying in either of them. In the OVA, he was shown dying peacefully in Kaoru's arms. I don't known if he dies in any Rurouni Kenshin manga spin-offs, but he does die in the OVA.

By sick, Im assuming you mean the problem with his nerves. The reason he got sick was because of the Hiten Mitsurugi-Ryu. The Hiten-ryu was for a person with "superhuman" build, like Hiko Seijuro the XIII. When he mastered the ougi (Amakakeru Ryu no Hirameki) of the Hiten-Ryu, his body started to decline. Basically, mastering the Hiten-Ryu ougi was the reason of his sickness.

He performed Seppuku which is a samurai form of suicide by disembowelment which enables the person to die with honour.

Kenshin was never shown dting in the manga. He was, however, shown dying in Kaoru's arms in the Rurouni Kenshin OVA. Other than the OVA, I don't think he dies in any Rurouni Kenshin manga.
