How does Macrinus die in Gladiator II?

What a correct answer would look like:

In Gladiator II, Macrinus (Denzel Washington) dies in a duel against Lucius Verus (Paul Mescal) outside the gates of Rome, near the Tiber river. After Macrinus kills Emperor Caracalla and Lucilla, he flees the city with the Praetorian Guard but is intercepted by Lucius leading General Acacius's former legions. To prevent a massive battle, they engage in single combat. Lucius defeats Macrinus by severing his hand (or arm) and stabbing him. Macrinus then falls into the river and sinks.
