Most scholars agree that Ivar died in Ireland, about 873. In the Norse Sagas, it is suggested he died of old age. In the Irish / Christian sources, he died suddenly from a "horrible" disease.
Ivar's birthday is unknown, and speculation that he was born in the last decade of the 8th century may be off by half a century! That he led the Great Heathen Army of Danes against the English kingdoms in 865 argues for a younger man. Warfare and campaigning in the 9th century were not for elderly men; and a birth-date of 794 would mean he was 71 years old at the time of the Danish invasion. While not impossible, this is highly unlikely.
Thus a death by old age in 873 is equally unlikely. Disease in the 9th century was a common cause of death in people of all ages; and this seems likely for Ivar the Boneless.
