A:Nothing is known about how or where Matthew died. A tradition arose of attributing martyrdom to each of the apostles (other than John, who supposedly escaped miraculously from being boiled in oil). Various deaths were attributed to Matthew, including being burnt, stoned and beheaded. The most common tradition is that he died in Ethiopia.

Apart from Judas Iscariot, The Bible does not say how any of the disciples died. Moreover, there is no reliable evidence about the deaths of any of them.

One Christian tradition is that he died in Georgia in 80 CE, while another says that he died in Jerudsalem. All these traditions developed long after the event, and are unlikely to be based on fact.

We do not really know how or when Matthias died.

No one of these traditions is more credible than the others, and none of them says when Matthew died. It is more likely that he died of natural causes, but we would not know when or how old he was.

He died sometime about 80 AD. We're not really sure how, when or where he died. Some say he was crucified in Colchis, modern-day Georgia, and is buried there. Some historians say he died in Ethiopia of natural causes. Others say he was stoned and beheaded in Jerusalem and still others say he died in Jerusalem of old age.

The Bible doesn't say, but tradition holds that he died in 90 A.D., possibly after being speared.
