Some historians believe Buddha died of a mesenteric infarction or thrombosis of the main artery supplying the middle section of the small intestine with blood.
Severe abdominal pain is triggered by a large meal, which requires a higher flow of blood to the digestive tract. As the obstruction persists, the bowel is deprived of its blood supply, which subsequently leads to gangrene of the intestinal tract. The intestinal wall ruptures and results in profuse bleeding into the intestinal tract followed by bloody diarrhea.
Intestine contents ooze into the peritoneal cavity, causing peritonitis or inflammation of the abdominal walls. This is is a potentially lethal condition which, if it is not corrected by immediate surgery, will result in septic shock from the infiltration of bacterial toxins into the blood stream.
With surgery, antibiotics and rest, recovery is possible.
On the other hand, he could have been poisoned...
Buddha's last meal was marinated pork.
