Scholars think that the Buddha actually died of a mesenteric infarction, a symptom of old age, rather than food poisoning. He died as he lived, mindfully, talking with his followers and reminding them that death was a part of life. He last words were something to the effect of: " All compounded things pass away. Strive on, diligently".
