Exactly as the title states: I rewatched Hellraiser II recently for the first time in ages, and had completely forgotten how Dr. Channard/cenobite Channard is dispatched at the end. Is he seriously killed because he gets a blade stuck in the ground, and subsequently rips himself to pieces just trying to get it out? THAT'S how he goes out, after effortlessly dispatching all the other cenobites?

I honestly wasn't sure if I was supposed to interpret it that way or not, or if I was supposed to think that Leviathan itself had chosen to tear him apart. I feel like visually, it's quite unclear. And the wikipedia plot summary, meanwhile, says "In trying to extricate his trapped serpentine tentacles, Channard rips himself apart."

Is that how you all see it? Just seems like a really odd ending to write for the character, in my opinion.
