Traditionally Aristotle died in "of a disease of the digestive organs". That could very well mean he was poisoned and Alexander is rumored to have arranged for his death prior to his own death, but nothing is certain. He did not knowingly or willingly drink hemlock.

Another famous philosopher, Socrates, was sentence to death by drinking hemlock. Aristotle had accused the Greeks of sinning against Philosophy by executing Socrates.
