A:

The death of Peter is not mentioned in The Bible, even in Acts of the Apostles, which was not written until around the turn of the century. Realistically, we do not know how or where Peter died.

On the other hand, Catholic tradition says that Peter travelled to Rome to lead the Christian community there and was subsequently crucified in Rome, having appointed his successor. However, the majority of scholars say that the Christian community in Rome was led by a college of presbyters until well into the second century, when the first bishop was appointed. It is improbable in the extreme that an apostolic precedent of a bishop of Rome would be so soon abandoned and ignored for almost a hundred years, and so it is most improbable that Peter ever led the church in Rome or that he died there.
