Chaucer died in a bar room brawl under suspicious circumstances. He was stabbed above the left eye. Some believe he may have been a spy for the Privy Council. I believe he was twenty six when he died.

We do not know how or when Chaucer died. He disappears from view around 1400 - a very turbulent period in English history (the deposition of Richard II in 1399, and subsequent murder in 1400, would segue into the Wars of the Roses).
The circumstances of Chaucer's disappearance are so strange that a recent book by Terry Jones (of Monty Python) speculates that he may have been murdered.
It is unlikely Chaucer was murdered, but we have no real information about his death whatever.
PS
It was Christopher Marlowe who was stabbed above the eye in Elizabethan times (1593). Chaucer belongs to a much earlier time.
About 1343 died 1400
