AnswerWe actually know nothing about how any of the apostles died. In the second and third centuries, various imaginative Christian traditions grew up about the terrible deaths sufferred by each of the apostles, all except the apostle John. The tradition that grew up around John was that the emperor had him boiled in oil, but this was unable to harm him, so John was exiled to Patmos and eventually died from natural causes. However, there is no good reason to believe any of these traditions. It is likely that all of the apostles died naturally, without the Roman authorities showing any interest in them.

Who was the first person to die a natural death in the Bible?

The Bible itself does not tell us who was the first person to die a natural death, since it did not record or claim to record everything that happened. The first recorded natural death is that of Adam in Genesis 5:5.5And all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years: and he died.Given Adam's age it is possible that someone predeceased him naturally, although people certainly lived a great deal longer then. The only deaths of the original 12 recorded in Scripture are Judas and James, John's brother (Acts 12). But according to tradition, John is the only Apostle to have died a natural death.
