On the afternoon of June 10 - 11, 323 BC, Alexander died of a mysterious illness in the palace of Nebuchadrezzar II of Babylon. He was just one month shy of attaining 33 years of age. Various theories have been proposed for the cause of his death which include poisoning by the sons of Antipater or others, sickness that followed a drinking party, or a relapse of the malaria he had contracted in 336 BC.

It is known that on May 29, Alexander participated in a banquet organized by his friend Medius of Larissa. After some heavy drinking, immediately before or after a bath, he was forced into bed due to severe illness. The rumors of his illness circulated with the troops causing them to be more and more anxious. On June 9, the generals decided to let the soldiers see their king alive one last time. They were admitted to his presence one at a time. While the king was too ill to speak, confined himself to move his hand. The day after, Alexander was dead.

As my French Larousse dictionary has it Alexander the Great died while living in the Empire of Babylonia and after reuniting the winner and the losers of his conquest, but the Empire he had thus created did not survive him and was separated amongst his generals; he lived from 356 to 323 before Christ. Alexander the Great founded the city of Alexandria in 332 before becaming king of Macedonia and Olympias at the age of 20 in 336 BC.
Hope this help, that is all I got from this source. This is also confirmed by The Reader's digest Great Encyclopaedic dictionary.
