Answer:

Gile Corey’s death was caused by being crushed by stones, it was ultimately a little slip up by him that caused his own death. Giles blames himself for everything that transpired with his wife. He then says, “it’s a pity Ezekiel, that an honest tailor might have gone to Heaven must burn in Hell. You’ll burn for this, do you know that?” But because he has been to the courts many times he knows his rights and when he was accused of witchcraft he never said if he was or wasn't because in keeping silent his land was not seized by the government and sold off.

Giles Corey is killed by being pressed to death. The basically heaved stones on him until he was crushed. It was reported that when they thought Corey had stopped breathing, he yelled "more weight!". Giles Corey was stubborn and strong. He had an indomitable spirit; he even goaded his killers until the end.
