For what it is worth, the Fool does not "disappear". Read King Lear's dying words: KING LEAR And my poor fool is hang'd! No, no, no life! Why should a dog, a horse, a rat, have life, And thou no breath at all? Thou'lt come no more, Never, never, never, never, never! Pray you, undo this button: thank you, sir. Do you see this? Look on her, look, her lips, Look there, look there!
According to the last speech of the play, Lady Macbeth didn't die from a lack of sleep, but rather, "as 'tis thought, by self and violent hands / Took off her life."
Antigonus, I don't have to outrun the bear . . . I just have to outrun YOU

And my poor fool is hang'd! No, no, no life!
Why should a dog, a horse, a rat, have life,
And thou no breath at all? Thou'lt come no more,
Never, never, never, never, never!
Pray you, undo this button: thank you, sir.
Do you see this? Look on her, look, her lips,
Look there, look there!

What, no mention of Hamlet's Yorick? Alas.
