He was killed by some native Hawaiians whilst trying to recover some stolen property.
Cook travelled via the Sandwich Islands (now Hawaii) as he returned to England on his third voyage of exploration, but this was where he made a major mistake. He had already visited Hawaii on his outward journey where, due to an unusual combination of circumstances, he was perceived to be a certain god returning from across the sea. The natives revered him and treated him exceptionally well, and when they saw him off, it was with all the ceremonial pomp they reserved for their most highly honoured gods.
When he returned, in the perception of the Hawaiian natives his 'god' persona was not supposed to return, and his return caused some suspicions among the natives that he was perhaps not who they had thought he was. In trying to recover one of the ship's boats, which had been stolen by Polynesian islanders, or possibly while they were trying to send his boats away from the island again, Cook was attacked and killed by the natives, using spears, on the beach at Kealakekua Bay in Hawaii. The date of Cook's death was 14 February 1779.
