Osceola died at Fort Moultrie, after being captured by the American army under a white flag. The main cause of his death was a case of malaria, caused by mosquitos in the swamps of Florida, where he and the Seminole Indians lived.

Chief Osceola, a prominent Seminole leader, died in 1838 as a prisoner of war at Fort Moultrie in South Carolina. His exact cause of death is debated, with some sources suggesting he died of illness while others point to tuberculosis. Osceola played a significant role in resisting the forced relocation of his people during the Seminole Wars in Florida.
