In Romeo and Juliet, how does Romeo learn about Juliet's death? What are the events that lead up to Juliet's death?

It's worth noting that 's "death"
isn't really her death at all in this context. Instead, she has taken a
strong sleeping potion that makes her appear dead in an effort to escape and live with .actually
pens a letter to Romeo to explain this scheme to reunite the young lovers, but in perhaps the
most tragic turn of events in the play, the letter never makes it to him.

News quickly spreads of beautiful Juliet's "death," and , Romeo's servant,
goes to Mantua to tell Romeo of this tragic turn of events. Romeo is, of course, immediately and
visibly upset. Balthasar notes:

I do beseech you, sir,
have patience.
Your looks are pale and wild, and do import
Some misadventure.
(V.i.27-29)

Romeo asks if Balthsar has a letter for him,
but he finds a dead end there. He therefore makes the immediate decision to find an apothecary
and purchase a poison to end his own life. This sets in motion a series of events that will lead
Juliet to her real and actual death.
