Conan Doyle \u2014 who was born on May 22, 1859 \u2014 intended the scene to permanently kill off Holmes because he feared the detective stories were overshadowing what he considered his more serious historical writing.<\/p>\n<p>At the time, readers canceled magazine subscriptions, wore black armbands in mourning and protested against Holmes\u2019 death. A decade later, Conan Doyle reversed the decision and brought Holmes back in \u201cThe Adventure of the Empty House,\u201d revealing that the detective had staged his death and survived the falls.<\/p>\n<div><ul><div><div><li><div>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Peter Horrocks, as Professor Moriarty; Philip Porter as Sherlock Holmes; and Charles Miller, as Doctor Watson.\" class=\"wp-image-8789\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/siliconvalleymovingpost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/4412ac4bbbcbcd395464be52bff6ab67-1024x683.webp\" width=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/siliconvalleymovingpost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/4412ac4bbbcbcd395464be52bff6ab67-1024x683.webp 1024w, https:\/\/siliconvalleymovingpost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/4412ac4bbbcbcd395464be52bff6ab67-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/siliconvalleymovingpost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/4412ac4bbbcbcd395464be52bff6ab67-768x512.webp 768w, https:\/\/siliconvalleymovingpost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/4412ac4bbbcbcd395464be52bff6ab67-1536x1024.webp 1536w, https:\/\/siliconvalleymovingpost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/4412ac4bbbcbcd395464be52bff6ab67.webp 1860w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<div>From left: Peter Horrocks, as Professor Moriarty; Philip Porter as Sherlock Holmes; and Charles Miller, as Doctor Watson, during an event recreating the fateful confrontation between Sherlock Holmes and Professor Moriarty by the members of the Sherlock Holmes Society of London, at the Reichenbach Falls, Switzerland, May 3, 2026.
