How did Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart die?

Answer 1

He had heart failure from rheumatic fever.

(That's one theory). At least 40 different theories have been put forth and many claim they have the evidence to back up their writing. He was poisoned, or took poison, or drank himself to death, or used opiates, or was suffocated by his wife or mistress. One of the better documented alternatives is that he ate bad pork and died of trichinosis about 6 weeks later. He wrote a letter describing his love of rare pork cutlets and said that the smell wafting through the house at that moment was too much to bear. About 42 days later he was dead.

-

Mozart became ill on Sept. 20th 1791. He was able to continue professional functions for some time until the illness intensified on 20th. At this point he became bedridden with pain, swelling, and vomiting. He died 1 AM on Dec. 5th 1791. He was only 35.

There is no exact known cause for Mozart's death. The official record has it as "hitziges Frieselfieber" (severe miliary fever). This was in reference to the rash that he had that resembled 'millet seeds'. In modern medicine this would hardly be considered a sufficient identifying factor in cause of death. There has been many hypothesis in regards to the death of the great composer. The number of speculations for his death reach well into the hundreds covering everything from influenza to poisoning. The one that is the most widely accepted is that he died of acute rheumatic fever.
