De Soto died of a fever in May, 1542, in an Indian village on the western banks of the Mississppi. Scholars are divided as to whether he died in what would be Arkansas or Louisiana.
Since de Soto had convinced the local natives that he was a god, the soldiers on the expedition had to conceal his death from the Indians. They hid his body in blankets, weighted it down and sank it in the Mississippi River during the night.
