Mozart had been ill and confined to bed for some weeks before his death on December 5, 1791. "Severe miliary fever" was the listed cause and later "rheumatic inflammatory fever" was named. There is no evidence to support the tale that he was poisoned by Salieri (a colleague and friend, hardly a real rival) or anyone else.
