The most believed is that he had rheumatic fever. This means that he got a high blood temperature. His doctors thought if they drained his blood, (as was the custom in those times) he might survive. He got weaker and weaker until he sadly died.

Others believe that since his last composition was a funeral dirge, the patron's messenger checked up on the song every week wore a mask. It is thought that while they were having tea the messenger poisoned Mozart so that they would receive his composition and claim that they wrote it, and rob him.

Also, they have evidence that another composer may have murdered him. The other composer was jealous that Mozart had it all, so he hated him. And so they have letters and old documents saying the other composer wished Mozart was dead.
So that would be another theory, but to be honest, they don't know how he died.
It is also possible that he died from food poisoning from uncooked pork.
