==Death and aftermath== Olaf died unexpectedly at [[Falsterbo]]hus in August 1387 at age 16. He was buried at [[Sorø Abbey]] on the Danish island of Zealand where his grandfather and, later, his mother, were also buried. Rumors immediately arose that Olaf had been poisoned. Following her son's death, Margaret united all three Scandinavian kingdoms in a [[Kalmar Union|personal union]].<ref>[[Arild Huitfeldt|Huitfeldt, Arild]]. Danmarks riges Krønike</ref> After Olaf, no Norwegian king was to be born on Norwegian soil for more than 550 years, until [[Harald V]], born in 1937, became king in 1991. Olaf's death was also the end of the male line of the [[House of Bjälbo]]. In 2015 Jørgen Lange Thomsen, a forensic scientist, proposed a theory Olaf II died from [[Brugada syndrome]].<ref>{{cite news|url=https://cphpost.dk/2015-10-16/general/mystery-of-danish-king-deaths-fosters-new-theory|title=Did a genetic heart condition cut short the lives of 14 Danish royals?|newspaper=[[The Copenhagen Post]]|last=Wenande|first=Christian|date=6 October 2015|access-date=27 May 2023}}</ref> In 1402, he was impersonated by the [[False Olaf]].
