Matthew the Evangelist and tax collector was also called Levi and was the writer of the gospel of Matthew. The Gospel of Matthias is a lost text from the New Testament apocrypha. As you can see, they are two different persons.

How did matthias the disciple die?

Ethiopic and Greek sources designate Dacia (modern Romania) and Macedonia, north of Greece, as part of the ministry of Matthias. Dacia was the extreme western part of Scythia. From Dacia came the Normans who ultimately settled in France and Britain. There is no clear statement as to where the Apostle Matthias finally died. Some think he was burned in Rome while others think he was stoned by the Sanhedrin in Jerusalem. There is also some confusion as to where he went as he is often given credit for the Apostle Matthew's travels.
