Is this completely correct? And should it be "although" or "though"?

However, Beryllinthranox’s defeat resulted in not only Laurana’s death, but also the complete destruction of Qualinost and the deaths of a large number of the city’s defenders. Laurana’s body was never recovered and presumably laid in the Lake of Death, although.though in death, she was finally reunited with Tanis
