I'm a little new to the Interweb, but I think Google/Wikipedia might help you if you have a question.

Even in history books there is disagreement on what caused his death. Nobody will ever really know.

Wikipedia is not a fully reliable source.

What you really need to do is get with the government. I hear that a year or two ago they recovered via the Stargate a time machine that was used by a member of the Ancients...
