Wilde died in 1900, three years after his release from prison. In the past he was thought to have died of syphilis, but more recent studies by Dr Ashley Robins of the University of Cape Town in South Africa report that he died of meningoencephalitis, following a serious ear infection. <ref>http://classiclit.about.com/cs/profileswriters/p/aa_oscarwilde.htm</ref>

==Wilde's sexuality==
    
Wilde's sexual orientation has been debated over the years and some considered him as either [[bisexual]], [[homosexual]], and even [[pederastic]]. Wilde himself believed that he belonged to a culture of "[[male love]]" inspired by the [[Greek pederastic tradition]], through his association with the Uranians. This tradition believed that it was an adult male's duty to bring boys into manhood via sexuality.
