Otto's death has been attributed to various causes; ancient sources speak of malaria, which he had caught in the unhealthy marshes that surrounded Ravenna. The Romans suggested instead that Stefania, the widow of Crescentius, had made him fall in love with her and then poisoned him. Otto's body was carried back to Germany by his loyal soldiers, and buried in Aachen together with that of Charlemagne. His tomb, however, has been lost.

As Stan Laurel might have said: "I think he died of-a-Tuesday!"
