There is never a reference to how he actually died in the novel. Jim and Huck just find a body in the house on the river. (Important to note that Jim turns Huck away from the body, as a way to protect him!)
In the book The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn Huck's father dies. Jim finds him when he and Huck are floating down the river on a raft. They find a floating house and inside Jim find the dead body of Huck's father.
They were hoping the firing of the cannon would bring Huck's body to the surface of the river.
because he knows
a dead body
A piece of a steamboat almost hits Huck while the boat is searching for his body in Chapter eight of Mark Twain's "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn." Huck manages to stay underwater long enough to avoid being hit.
Jim and Huck find the house to be a mess, and find whiskey, playing cards, and obscene graffiti (symbolizing human vices). Most importantly, they find the body of Huck's murdered father, who was shot in the back. Jim makes sure Huck doesn't see his face, so Huck doesn't know that his father was killed.

Huck was scared breathless when he saw a dead man's body with a gruesome wound on the wrecked steamboat. The sight of the violence and death was overwhelming for him.
