The Bible contains no account of Peter's death. In fact, the only apostle whose death is recorded in scripture is James, the brother of John (Acts 12:2). Any accounts of the deaths of the other apostles are extra-biblical in origin.
Tradition holds that St. Peter was crucified upside down in Rome during the reign of Emperor Nero.

The Bible does not say that Simon Peter was crucified. In fact, there is no evidence that Peter was crucified, or even that he ever visited Rome.

The Bible does not even mention whether Peter was executed, whether by crucifixion or otherwise. Thus, we actually know nothing about how or when Peter died, so we know nothing about why he was killed, if in fact he was killed.
One tradition is that Peter was executed in Rome around 64 CE, by being crucified upside down. However, this tradition appears to have originated with Origen in the third century. An even older tradition, apparently begun by the second-century bishop of Rome, Anicetus, was that Peter was beheaded in Rome - and that Anicetus therefore spoke with the authority of Peter. However Clement of Rome, writing around 95 CE (1 Clement), spoke in general terms about the life and death of Peter but appears to have been unaware that he had even visited Rome or that he had been executed just a few years earlier.
