It is unknown how Edward the V died. He was taken to the Tower of London and never seen publicly again.

It will probably never be known for certain but circumstantial evidence suggests Edward V and his brother Richard Duke of York were murdered in the Tower around July 1483, when Edward was nearly thirteen. Sir Thomas More claims they were smothered and this claim is echoed elsewhere in contemporary sources. In 1674 two skeletons were found buried in the rubble of a staircase leading from the White Tower to a chapel and they were believed to be Edward V and his brother. More recent analysis of the remains revealed a dark reddish stain around the jaw of the larger of the skeletons which, if the bodies are indeed those of Edward V and Richard, supports the notion of suffocation. Hope this is helpful!
