Does anyone know how Bagoas died? When I speak of Bagoas I naturally mean the eunuch lover of Alexander.

Nobody knows, he is not mentioned after the trial of Nabarzanes in Curtius.

He is only a lover in fiction, not in reality.

NO; in Curtius and Plutarch he is Alexander's sex toy, as he had been Dareios', Nabarzanes makes the relationship quite plain.
