He died at the young age of 44 in 1554 (actual dates are in dispute). He was seriously injured by a fall during his expedition north of Mexico from 1540 to 1542. The searches turned up no treasure and Coronado was left bankrupt, so he took an official position in Mexico City, where he was living when he died.

He was trampled by horses during his expedition in 1541. His saddle broke, and he was trampled by those following him. He received such a serious head injury that he wasn't expected to live, but he pulled through.

The head injury is thought to have been a major factor in the decline of his health, as he was only 44 years old when he died in 1554.
