According to most ancient historians Claudius was poisoned. However, different accounts tell different stories. According to some he died after prolonged suffering, while others say that he recovered and was poisoned again. Josephus described the murder accounts as rumours. Seneca the Younger said that he died of natural causes. The murder accounts point their fingers to his scheming wife, Agrippina the Younger.

Some modern historians doubt the murder theories and think that they were door to ancient historians being susceptible to rumours and gossip.
