The Bible does not record when or how the prophet Daniel died. His death is not described in the Book of Daniel or elsewhere in Scripture.
Based on the timeline in the book:
Daniel was taken to Babylon as a young man, likely around 605 BC.
He served under several kings, including Nebuchadnezzar II, Belshazzar, Darius the Mede, and Cyrus the Great.
His final recorded vision is in the third year of Cyrus, around 536 BC (Daniel 10).
Many scholars estimate Daniel lived into his 80s or possibly early 90s, but this is an estimate rather than something the Bible explicitly states.
So the best answer is:
Date of death: Unknown.
Age at death: Unknown, though he was likely an elderly man (around 80–90 years old).
Cause of death: Not recorded in the Bible.
