Outside The Bible, there is nothing known about Matthew, nor even evidence that he really existed. Accounts of his life vary, some reporting that he was martyred, others that he died a natural death. However, the Christian community since early times has commemorated him as a martyr. One story is that Matthew was allocated to evangelise Ethiopia and there he was arrested while he stood teaching in his church and was nailed to the ground with short spears and beheaded.

In short, we have no real information, other than tradition or folk-lore about what happened to Matthew.
