Oh okay I thought she stole whatever money he had on him when she took something out of his pocket before leaving. Guess it doesn’t matter if he’s going to be dead anyways. Speaking of which, how did he die in the books? I’ve never read any of them.
I have not read them either but I check against online synopses.
Really no time to read them though I will, someday.
It’s not clear if he dies or not, from what I gather.
I do know that the fight between him and Brienne is not in the books.
Instead, the infected wound weakens him and he falls from his horse.
That is when she abandons him.
Maybe it’s left open-ended for some miraculous return.
[I hope!]

Way too late now, but just came across your comment in this thread.
Arya did take the Hound’s money from him as he lay ‘dying’, indeed. The whole point of this was that she’s learnt from him, and to an extent, has become what he taught her to be. In a previous episode in the series, when she berates him for stealing silver from an old farmer who had fed them and taken them in, he turns to her and says: ‘he’s old, he’s weak, he won’t survive the winter. Dead men don’t need silver.’
That ‘dead men don’t need silver’ comment is precisely the point Arya is making when she takes his purse and leaves him to die.
