From Quiz Frankenstein's Creature

Answer: Victor dies and the creature moans over his death

Yes, the "son" lived longer than his "father". Victor dies from severe pneumonia. I find it remarkable that creature never really attempts to kill Victor or use any physical force against him. He could easily did it, because he is physically superior. But all his power is just eloquence and intimidation. This is why many believe that the creature is imaginary. Personally I think he, in a way, respects Victor - but this respect certainly is not mutual.
