There is new evidence that is surfacing that Alexander died from an overdose of his own drug. Alexander's best friend died and Alexander needed something to fight his depression. (RUMOR - i copy-pasted from strategypage.com)
By his son Alexander the fourth. Alexander the great was Alexander the third. His son was murdered at the age of 13 shortly after the death of his father.
Yes he became the ruler after his father was murdered.
The King of Persia defeated by Alexander was Darius. After losing the battle of Gaugamela Darius was murdered by his own nobles.
Alexander defeated Darius(?) the King of Persia, who was by the way, murdered by his own bodyguards. Alexander moved on til he occupied the city and palace of the Persian kings and was there declared the new King of that country.
Not much, since he was murdered in about 310 B.C. at around the age of thirteen by Cassander, one of his father's former military officers and a rival for the Macedonian throne.
Cleitus condemned Alexander for his achievements compared to Philip's. He later accuses Alexander of trying to sideline him and criticises Alexander for the murder of Attalus (who he murdered at the beginning of his reign). Alexander became hot with anger and murdered Cleitus, not realising what he had done until after and felt regretful. Cleitus was one of Alexander's childhood friends, but he murdered him because he couldn't handle what he said although it was true. He basically couldn't handle the truth!
He was murdered on the eve of his departure, and the task was taken on by one of his sons Alexander (later the Great).
Darius' own nobles murdered him to try to come to terms with Alexander. He was not impressed and gave Darius a proper burial, and executed the generals to show what disloyalty brought.
