A:Nothing is known about how, when or where Matthew died. A tradition arose of attributing martyrdom to each of the apostles (other than John, who supposedly escaped miraculously from being boiled in oil). Various deaths were attributed to Matthew, including being burnt, stoned and beheaded, but none of these traditions is more credible than the others. It is much more likely that Matthew simply died of natural causes.
