Let's take a look at the circumstances of Ezio's death as written in the Encyclopedia:

"In 1524, after a lifetime of intense fighting and incredible heroism, Ezio Auditore passed away suddenly in a Florentine piazza at the age of 65, his wife by his side. While the precise circumstances of his death remain a mystery, the prevailing opinion holds that Ezio, having suffered from chronic ailments for many years, finally succumbed to the injuries acquired during his three decades as one of the most talented and devoted Assassins the Brotherhood had ever known."
