A few minutes later Chet Rudolph stumbles into the bedroom vomiting as he walks in. He says, "He poisoned us Norma." Norma says, "You little bastard. Kill him Chet." Norman was watching from the hallway as the strychnine began to take effect. Chet Rudolph collapses while Norma staggers after Norman taking swipes at him as she goes down the stairway. She continues to try to reach him but the poison has been too strong for her. Chet tackles Norman at the bottom of the stairs but Norman gets away and then finally Norma collapses in the downstairs hall. Norman takes her down to the fruit cellar where she dies. Chet dies too.
After Norman stole her corpse the movie shows him making incisions in her stomach much like you would gut a deer. Norman treated her with chemicals to preserve her much like his stuffed birds. Then Norman sews her up and she is then preserved for "all time". This was Norman's way of keeping his mother with him for a long, long time. It seems as though this demented way of keeping his mother this way has a bit of masochism in it.
