It's not known for certain, but according to some sources , he was beheaded, and according to others, he was flayed (skinned) alive and crucified, with his head facing downward.

In fact, because of this legend, he is often represented in works of art (for instance in Michelangelo's Last Judgment) as flayed and holding in his hand his own skin.
