Maybe, maybe not. But here's an extract from Hilary A.'s very impressive
comparison of the works of Paarfi and Dumas
(http://www.cracksandshards.com/Paarfi_Dumas.html), which she was so kind
as to offer to the Cracks and Shards site-- specifically, from the section
comparing The Vicomte de Bragelonne and The Viscount of Adrilankha
(http://www.cracksandshards.com/Paarfi_Dumas.html#TVDB_TVOA):

Dumas:	
Athos, paralyzed into inactivity by his grief for Raoul, dies serenely.
D'Artagnan sobs hysterically over his body. 

Paarfi:	
Aerich, paralyzed by a broken neck, dies serenely. Khaavren sobs
hysterically over his body.
