      Seizures, probably from kidney failure. The more interesting thing with him was all the human skull he consumed as medicine trying to treat it.

      he died in the 1600s so it's not clear. wikipedia says "apoplectic fit" which is loosely defined as having an organ rupture. some suspect he was killed. contemporary analysis suggests kidney disease from mercury exposure.
