are there other phrases set up like "end up ____-ing (gerund)" if so, what are they called?

English Language & Usage Asked by saylestyler on January 4, 2021

I’m watching a documentary and this was said:

"We believe they did intentional things that kept Gabriel in harm’s way, and ultimately ended up in him dying"

The "him dying" part is what struck me as odd.

I know that "end up" (from other questions here) usually is accompanied by a gerund, but I’m wondering if there are other sentence structures like this in English, and what this is called?

Tyia!
