Actually, Mercutio is killed in Act III Scene 1 when he duels Tybalt. Romeo tries to stop the fight, by throwing himself between the two, but Tybalt manages to stab Mercutio under Romeo's arm.
When Mercutio discovers that Romeo is missing, he sympathizes Romeo because he still believes Romeo is heartbroken from Rosaline. Mercutio does not think Romeo can look at another girl the same way he did with Rosaline. Therefore, he is unaware of Romeo's relationship with Juliet.
Mercutio is naive when it comes to Romeo's relationship with Juliet.
Act 1, Scene 4, Act 2, Scenes 1 and 4, Act 3, Scene 1.
MERCUTIO
Tybalt, he is killed in act 3 scene 1 after he kills Romeo's good friend, Mercutio. Romeo takes his anger and self-defense out on Tybalt, and Romeo is banished from Verona for his actions.
Romeo and Juliet both die in Act V Scene 3. They both commit suicide, so in that sense, Romeo is killed by a Montague and Juliet by a Capulet. Some people point to the feud as a cause of the tragedy, arguing that if it were not for the feud Romeo and Juliet would have openly admitted their love, and Tybalt would not have decided to make Romeo his enemy. There is some truth in this, but there are so many factors and causes which led to the tragedy that singling out one or two distorts the nature of the story.
Depends. If you are talking about Act 3 scene 1, where both him and Mercutio are killed, then you would notice that he talks politely at the start, when normally he is a fierce character.

Act 3 Scene 3 :)
