What was the immediate cause of Claudius' death?

  • Starvation

  • Fever

  • Wound

  • Heart attack

Answer

The answer is fever. Claudius' death was caused by a sudden onset of fever, which was likely a result of complications from a mushroom poisoning that he had experienced earlier. The poisoning had caused damage to his digestive system, leaving him susceptible to infections and other medical issues. The fever was too severe for the elderly emperor to overcome, and he passed away as a result.
