Apart from Judas Iscariot, we do not know anything about how any of the twelve disciples died. However, Christian traditions of the martyrdom of the apostles grew up over the centuries, usually involving terrible deaths.
Hippolytus, early in the third century, said that "fell asleep" at Hierees, a town of Parthia. However, martyrdom is preferred for traditions about the disciples, and a popular one is that Matthew was killed in Ethiopia with a halberd (a pike fitted with an axe head) or stabbed with a spear.
