Proposed causes of Alexander's death included alcoholic liver disease, fever, and strychnine poisoning, but little data support those versions. According to the University of Maryland School of Medicine report of 1998, Alexander probably died of typhoid fever (which, along with malaria, was common in ancient Babylon).

hello frnd...♡♡
We don’t know, in short. The story we have is that he died of an illness. However, here are some interesting facts relating to the commanders in chief of the Macedonian army in Alexander’s era and their prospective successors.
Alexander’s cousin became king after the death of his father, with Phillip, Alexander’s father, appointed regent, as the cousin was still a child. The child was dead within a year or two.
Phillip, the next king, was murdered, shortly after exiling Alexander and his mother. He was stabbed at his wedding to the woman who was expected to produce the heir to the throne who would replace Alexander. The question of who was involved in the murder was not helped by the immediate murder of the assassin by three of Alexander’s closest friends, including Perdiccas, his successor as commander in chief of the Macedonian army.
Alexander died at thirty three. His death worked out well for Perdiccas, who only the year before had been fourth in line to power Hephaestion, the second in line, displayed similar symptoms to Alexander before dying. Shortly before his own death, Alexander had sent his second in command, Craterus, to march a group of veterans back to Macedonia, and to order his regent, Antipater, to appear before him in Babylon. Since this was a probably death sentence, Antipater would also have found the timing of Alexander’s death propitious.
Alexander’s wife, both his children and his mother were all eventually killed by Cassander, Antipater’s son.
Cassander appeared in Babylon shortly before Alexander died.
Craterus was killed in battle, but was nearly killed earlier, when Perdiccas threw a spear through both his legs in what is described as a hunting accident.
Perdiccas was eventually killed by other Macedonian generals.
Everyone didn’t die young in those days. All three of Alexander’s senior generals, Antipater, Parmenio and Antigonus, lived into their seventies. Parmenio and Antigonus would have lived longer had they not been executed for treason and died in battle, respectively.
Alexander was a heavy drinker who had been very seriously wounded a number of times. The chances of him dying at 33 of natural causes are considerable. He might very well have caught the same disease which killed Hephaestion. However, considering how likely any commander in chief of the Macedonian armed forces was to be murdered, and the powerful motives at least two very powerful people had to want Alexander dead at the moment he died, it seems likelier that he was murdered, and that Antipater, Perdiccas or both masterminded the killing.
