Albert Barnes Commentary Ezekiel 11:13

"And it came to pass, when I prophesied, that Pelatiah the son of Benaiah died. Then fell I down upon my face, and cried with a loud voice, and said, Ah Lord Jehovah! wilt thou make a full end of the remnant of Israel?" — Ezekiel 11:13 (ASV)

The death of Pelatiah was communicated in this vision, which symbolically represented the idolatry in which Pelatiah had actually been foremost.
