Unlikely, Squanto died under mysterious circumstances. His only recorded symptom was a nose bleed. his condition is sometimes referred to as "Indian fever." It is very unlikely that it was small pox. Squanto had been exposed to many Europeans during his lifetime. He traveled to England and Spain. It seems that if small pox was going to kill him, it would have done so long ago.
From Mayflower History.comOn one trip to trade for some corn seed for the subsequent growing season, he went with Governor Bradford south on the ocean-side of Cape Cod, and they pulled into Manamoyick Bay because of dangerous weather conditions. There, in November 1622, Squanto's nose began to bleed. He told Governor Bradford it was a sign among the Indians of death. He asked Bradford to pray for him so that he could go to the Englishman's God in Heaven when he died, and asked Bradford to give various things as gifts to his English friends back at Plymouth. Within a few days, he was dead. From Bradford's History of the English Settlement"Here Bay Squanto fell ill of Indian fever, bleeding much at the nose,--which the Indians take as a symptom of death,--and within a few days he died. He begged the Governor to pray for him, that he might go to the Englishman's God in heaven, and bequethed several of his things to his English friends, as remembrances. His death was a great loss."

∙ 7y agoAn epidemic describes what many Native Americans and some historians suggest as the cause of death of Squanto's (1585?-Nov. 30, 1622) tribe. William Bradford (March 19, 1590-May 9, 1657), member of the Mayflower in 1620 and subsequent Governor of Plymouth Colony intermittently between 1621 and 1657, mentioned scouts finding bones and skulls where homes and villages once had been near his ship's landing off what now is known as Cape Cod, Massachusetts. The prime suspect seems to be the disease leptospirosis, caused by spiral-shaped bacteria in rat urine even though the acidic, insular soils obstruct verification by examination of human remains.
