From:

“Ours was my friend Combeferre. He is…..was a wonderful man, studying medicine among whatever else he could think of. He would love this place.” He hesitates at the next question, however. “I —do not know. I would likely have been steered that way, as I was studying law at home; but quite honestly I was happy just to help. I …did not expect to…well, I’m sure you can imagine.”

He hasn’t quite referenced his own death up until now, its one of the myriad of things he’s been shoving to the back of his mind. Anytime he gets close to touching on it aside from vague references he can feel his heart start beating faster.¹

¹He also hasn’t caught onto the fact that Claudius has assumed he’s dead; perhaps it’s just because he’s been sharing it to everyone here, right? Certainly common knowledge by now.
