How did st. Matthew (the apostle/ evangelist) died? when? ?

Question

can you also give other history facts about St. Matthew? thank you

Answer 1

I have read that Matthew was killed by sword in Ethiopia...the Bible does not record his death, and John, was the only one to actually die of old age. Off hand, thats all I know...;-)

Answer 2

He died in a camel race.  

Answer 3

There is very little certainty about how the apostles died, and even then there is conflict within theories. Matthew probably died a natural death, but again, some say he was a martyr and killed. Most likely his death was natural.
