It was Christopher Columbus son, Fernando, who said that his father died from gout. Who knows if this was the case as in Christopher Columbus day that term was used for all joint complaints. More modern analysis claims that Christopher Columbus probably died of a strange illness called Reiter's Syndrome. It was May 20, 1506, only 2 years since his final voyage that Christopher Columbus died. He was Fifty Four and his place of death was in Valladolid, Spain.
