It kinda depends on the variety but in general you loose one of the remaining leaves at a time and then it rots from the inside out. I presume at some point it falls over, but I chop it down way before that. If its rotting and you break it down then, expect a terrible smell for a little while. Not quite gag worthy but I think it best left to the imagination.
