Ezio Auditore died of a heart attack due to his illness and old age while on a shopping trip to Florence with his wife, Sofia, and his daughter Flavia. 

According to the Assassin’s Creed short film, Embers and the novel Revelation, Ezio retired from his assassin life and settled down with Sofia.  

While running a Vineyard in the Italian countryside with his family, he acquired some unexplained disease that further weakened him. 

He eventually joined back the assassins when a Chinese assassin named Shao Jun visited and asked him to teach her how to protect her homeland. 

Unfortunately, the Chinese Imperial Soldiers tailing Shao Jun attacked the Vineyard, but luckily, Ezio and Jun together managed to defend themselves. 

After Shao Jun returned to China, Ezio went on a shopping trip where he died from a heart attack and took his last breath smiling, looking at his family.

Ezio Auditore was 65 years old when he died of a heart attack caused by his unexplained illness and old age.  

Ezio was seemingly getting old throughout his story, covered in three titles: Assassin’s Creed 2, Brotherhood, and Revelations.  

Even though it seems that he died a natural death, some fans believe that a mystery man intentionally killed him.  

This theory arises from the fact that when Ezio was on the trip with his family, a man sat next to him on the bench and complained about the city. Soon, when Ezio started collapsing due to chest pain and shortness of breath, the man walked away without showing any concern for the dying old man. 

Whether it was a natural death or a maliciously planned assassination, it is certain that Ezio lived a fulfilling life and died happily near his loved ones.
