Isildur didn't cast the ring into Mount Doom because he was corrupted by its power.
The ring then betrayed Isildur and eventually fell to Smeagol/Gollum who became corrupted by its power.
Bilbo Baggins then stole the ring from Gollum and also became affected (though to a lesser extent) by the ring.
Then it passed to Frodo who also demonstrated at times that he was affected by it.
Something unusual going on with the ring perhaps, but again feck all to go on
Yeah that would be my assessment as well. The corruption could be anything. It could be joining the wolves, it could be the ring bearer dies. Could be a number of things really.
