Mufassa braved the wildebeast stampede to save simba. Once simba was safe, mufassa clawed his way to the top of the gully where Scar waited for him. Mufassa asked scar to help him, and scar grabbed him by the paws and threw him back down the side of the gully to where the wildebeast stampede continued, and he was trampled to death. They don't actually show him being trampled, only him falling into a sea of wildebeast. Really one of the most poignant scenes in Disney, as far as I am concerned, I still get choked up thinking about it.
