When did Narcissus die?

According to Greek mythology, Narcissus did not die, but rather transformed into a flower known as the narcissus. The story goes that Narcissus, a young man of exceptional beauty, fell in love with his own reflection in a pool of water. Unable to tear himself away from his own image, he pined away until he wasted away and transformed into the narcissus flower. So, Narcissus did not die in the traditional sense.
