[edit] Strange

The description of his death is strange and it seems fictitious. Using a reliable source, someone needs to research his death.

I agree. The “death by watermelon” story obviously is an apocryphal tale. It definitely has holes. If the servant could poison the watermelon, then he could easily taste it by the same method. I mean if the poison was injected into the watermelon with something like an injection syringe, then the servant could easily have drawn some juice from the watermelon with the same injection and tasted it. And if the watermelon was brought to the king after being cut open, then there was no problem in tasting it. So the story does not gel well.
