Detailed explanation-1: -With a moan, she falls on her brother, and, by the time they hit the floor, both Roderick and Madeline are dead. The narrator thereupon flees in terror. Outside, he looks back just in time to see the house split in two and collapse.
Detailed explanation-2: -As Madeline falls forward onto her brother, she brings him – and the Usher family bloodline – to the ground. The narrator runs away in terror and, once outside, turns back to see the house split in two, and collapse into the “lurid tarn” as to mark the end of the Usher family name.
Detailed explanation-3: -The narrator is an enigmatic character. One way to explain his role is that the narrator’s job is simply to narrate the story. We don’t know his name, which is representative of us knowing nothing about him at all. He really only exists in relation to the Ushers, and that relation is primarily as an outsider.
