The Mughal ruler Akbar died on October 17, 1605, after a period of serious illness. In his final days, he suffered from severe diarrhea and was treated with high doses of astringent medicines, which worsened his condition. The medicines led to high fever, stomach cramps, flank pain, and difficulty urinating. As his health declined, rumors of poisoning surfaced, though these were never confirmed.
