He died because the Battle of Mammoth was so hot and humid. There was not enough water to keep him hydrated. This is only one of the theories for his death. The other theory was that he got shot while manning his cannon. Non of these theories has proof. However, whichever is the true one, it led to the start of Molly Pitcher, or Mary Hays, John Carper Hay's wife. She took over the cannon for him, and also helped bring water to the troops.
