[LotR] If Frodo had somehow managed to destroy the Ring by himself, what would have become of Gollum?

He was far older than any Hobbit could live. The Ring doesn't provide *more* life, it just kind of stretches out your normal lifespan. Without the Ring artificially doing this, he would die (and if the fate of the Witch-king is any indication, his own guess that he'd crumble to dust is likely accurate).
