Best Answer

Galileo died of natural causes in 1642, when he was almost 78 years old. He was already suffering ill-health, having been blind for several years, and also having a hernia. Just prior ti his death, he had a high fever and heart palpitations.

At the time, he was serving life imprisonment (under house arrest) for his writings which contradicted the teaching of the Roman Catholic church and supported Copernicus, who was seen as a heretic.
