what did pocahontas die from
Rating Newest Oldest. Best Answer: You cannot believe how a film re-depicts a historical account. The real Pocahontas did marry Rolfe, but she died of a diesease known as small pox. She even didn't have a hummingbird and raccoon friend named respectivley Flit and Meeko. To also put into place, I think there's no known account of the real Mulan (who did disguise herself as a man) marrying her commanding military officer and had a mini-dragon aide as depicted in the Disney film and its sequel.
