Coronis and Apollo

Coronis and Apollo were lovers and she became pregnant.There was some infidelity on Coronis's part and Apollo's spy raven tattled to him about it. In Apollo's rage he turned all crow's from white to black set his sister Artemis on Coronis. 
As Coronis was on her funeral pyre Apollo felt bad and had his son, Asclepius, cut from her womb.

This is just one of the ways he supposedly died, but it's defiantly my favorite.
