Key Points

• The idiomatic construction is "died of" a disease: *Ram died of cholera.*
• Died of is used for illness or internal causes; died from is used for injuries or external causes, as in *died from a fall*.
• Died by suits a means or agency — *died by drowning* — and died with is not used for a cause.

Additional Information

• Related fixed prepositions with *die*: die for (a cause), die in (an accident), die at (an age), die from (wounds).
• The distinction between *of* and *from* is fine and often blurred in speech, but examinations mark the traditional rule.
• Prepositions after verbs are rarely deducible by logic and are best learned as whole phrases.
