See, you are looking at it all wrong. I had to die. It was up to me to ensure the world would live in freedom and peace. Frodo had turned to the darkside. Sam was useless. So, there was only way I could ensure that. I threw myself into the fires of Mt. Doom. I even allowed Frodo and Sam to receive my glory and my credit. That is why I'm Smeagol the Supreme. Benevolent Savior of Middle Earth.
I see the effects of the Ring are still lingering.....
