A:Nothing is known about how, when or where Matthew died. A tradition arose of attributing martyrdom to each of the apostles (other than John, who supposedly escaped miraculously from being boiled in oil). Various deaths were attributed to Matthew, including being burnt, stoned and beheaded, but none of these traditions is more credible than the others. It is more likely that he died of natural causes, rather than by execution.

Tradition holds that the apostle Matthew was martyred by being stabbed to death with a halberd in Ethiopia while he was preaching the Gospel. His remains were later reportedly taken to Salerno, Italy.
