A:The authors of Matthew's Gospel and Acts of the Apostles can not even agree on how Judas Iscariot died, so can hardly be expected to tell us exactly where to find his body. They both have Judas Iscariot dying a satisfyingly horrible death, although in markedly different circumstances.

Matthew 27:3-5 says that Judas repented of what he had done and took the thirty pieces of silver back to the Temple and cast them down at the priests. He then went away and committed suicide. The priests spent the money on buying a field known as the potter's field. If this is the correct account, perhaps Judas was buried in the potter's field.

In Acts of the Apostles, Judas was no doubt pleased to be suddenly rich, and purchased a field with the money he had received. Unfortunately for him, he fell down and died, his bowels gushing out.

This is the "best" answer? Matthew 27:3-5 tells us how he died. And Acts tells us what happened to Judas's body. Acts does NOT say how Judas died, so they can easily be taken as complementary, not contradictory.
