Here, Frodo can heal the deep physical and spiritual wounds that he suffered during his epic journey into Mordor. Finally, he can live a free existence away from the great burden of the Ring.
If he stayed in Middle Earth, the injuries inflicted on him would eventually destroy him. But here in the Undying Lands, he can rest, heal and replenish in absolute bliss. Some fans of the Trilogy suggest that Valinor and The Undying Lands are a metaphor for heaven itself. Is it possible that Frodo had actually died before he boarded the White Ship, and was he sailing off towards the afterlife?
And then it seemed to him as in his dream in the house of Bombadil, the grey rain-curtain turned all to silver glass and was rolled back, and he beheld white shores and beyond them a far green country under a swift sunrise. But to Sam, the evening deepened to darkness as he stood at the Haven; and as he looked at the grey Sea, he saw only a shadow on the waters that was soon lost in the West. There still, he stood far into the night, hearing only the sigh and murmur of the waves on the shores of Middle-Earth, and the sound of them sank deep into his heart.
Beside him stood Merry and Pippin, and they were silent. And Tolkein himself confirms this in his own private letters, where he makes it clear that Frodo and his friend Sam who is also eventually granted a place in Valinor would always be mere mortals and would eventually succumb to death even if they were to remain in The Undying Lands.

He is never able to rest in this world and goes with the elves across the sea to a better place. The first Lord of the Rings film was very true to the book. It left out certain scenes, but was essentially the same as the book. The second film, the Two Towers, took more liberties with the plot, introducing extra scenes, changing people's motivation and so on. It is possible, but unlikely, that Frodo will die in the third film. Currently voted the best answer.
No, Frodo does not die in the third installment of 'Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King' in either the book or movie. He does not even die while standing over the lava of Mount Doom because the power of the ring takes a hold of Frodo, for it easily tempts anyone. Take for example Isildur, when he and Elrond are in the same position. As Gandalf forshadowed, "Even Gollum may have something yet to do. He then is so delighted he dances and falls off by accident, therefore destroying the ring.
Then Gandalf and the eagles fly to Mount Doom and save him and Sam. Go in peace! I will not say: do not weep; for not all tears are an evil. My work is now finished. Here at last, on the shores of the sea, comes the end of our Fellowship. I will not say do not weep, for not all tears are an evil. The dialogue continues, where it does not in the book borrowing words from elsewhere in the book :. Gandalf: It is time, Frodo. Sam: What does he mean? Frodo: We set out to save the Shire, Sam. And it has been saved, but not for me.
But it is worth considering what kind of reward the Undying Lands are. They are both clearly alive! Frodo and Bilbo sail with the elves and Sam returns home. While it is not explicitly stated that they stay alive, we do not see them die; we see them literally sail away.
Although Tolkien swore up and down that The Lord of the Rings was not allegory, it was undeniably full of metaphor.
