Tituba, an enslaved woman in colonial Massachusetts, was imprisoned during the Salem witch trials in 1692 after being accused of witchcraft. While in prison, she confessed to witchcraft, claiming to have been influenced by the devil, which led to her gaining some notoriety. Eventually, she was released from prison but was not able to return to her previous life, as she was sold to pay her jail fees. The details of her later life remain largely unknown, as historical records are scarce.

Why did tituba die?

she wasnt killed by the trials - When public sentiment towards the accusers and the trials began to change, Tituba recanted her confession. This further enraged Parris, who in retaliation, refused to pay the jailer's fee to get Tituba out a prison. As a result, she spent thirteen months in jail until an unknown person paid the seven pounds for her release and bought her. It is likely that the same person bought her husband, John, because Puritans were not inclined to split up married couples, even slaves. It is unknown what happened to her after she began her life with her new owner.
