He was assassinated or that's what some people would like to believe. In reality, Pilate continued to be in power for ten years after the death of Jesus. The severity of his rule and punishments got to be too much even for the Romans. He brought about his own downfall by massacring a group of Samaritans who were gathering for a religious event. Not only was there a great loss of life on the part of the Samaritans, but the prisoners were cruelly put to death. The leaders complained to the governor of Syria and Pilate was forced to return to Rome to answer for his actions. Caligula had just become emperor and he forced Pilate to commit suicide.
