Best Answer

He died on the Egyptian Beach by treachery. Pompey fled to Egypt in the hope of getting help after his defeat by Caesar. For some reason the Egyptians, thinking that perhaps they could appease Caesar, lured Pompey into a small boat and had one of Pompey's traitorous officers kill him and then behead him.
