I think that's probably one of those it's-just-a-story-so-don't-ask questions that the writers may not have reasoned out beforehand.

From what Gaius said (I just went and listened to it), I think the implication was that he made preparations beforehand, just in case he died. Maybe his soul was automatically sucked into the jewel.

Wonder who was nice enough to bury him with all his stuff, when he was a condemned criminal?
