how did Paul die?

Answer 1

He was imprisoned repeatedly, tortured at will, helped to escape by an angel, made his way to Rome where he was beheaded just for the fun of it.

Answer 2

The most common tale is that on Wednesday, November 9, 1966 at 5 pm, McCartney, while working on the Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band album, stormed out of a recording session after an argument with the other Beatles and rode off in his Austin-Healey. "He didn't notice that the lights had changed" ("A Day in the Life") because he was busy watching the pretty girl on the pavement ("Lovely Rita") after narrowly missing her dressed in blue (she's the blur on the back of Abbey Road) jaywalking ("Blue Jay Way"). He then crashed into a light pole (a car crash sound is heard in "Revolution 9") and, dying from massive head injuries, his hair and face burned (having "lost (his) hair" according to "Don't Pass Me By", although that is not the context of the song as a whole). He was pronounced dead on a "Wednesday morning at 5 o'clock as the day begins" (the day and time mentioned in "She's Leaving Home"), and nobody found out this because on "Wednesday morning papers didn't come" ("Lady Madonna"). A funeral procession was held days later (as implied in the Abbey Road album cover), with Lennon presiding over the service and gravedigger Harrison burying the body.

There is no evidence of any sort of car crash in which McCartney was involved, although during the first week of January 1967, McCartney's custom-made Mini Cooper was wrecked by a friend on the M1 Motorway outside London. McCartney was involved in a moped crash on December 26, 1965, which resulted in the scar on his lip that can be seen on promotional videos for the "Paperback Writer"/"Rain" single, made shortly after the crash, in May 1966. According to McCartney, his desire to hide the scar on his lip was the impetus to grow a moustache; at about the same time the other three Beatles grew moustaches as well—in time for Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.

At the time of his 1965 moped crash, McCartney was riding along with Tara Browne, a Guinness heir. Browne was killed shortly thereafter in a car crash, and it is this incident that is the source of the "He blew his mind out in a car" line in "A Day In The Life".

According to believers, McCartney was replaced with the winner of a McCartney look-alike contest. The name of this look-alike has been recorded as William Shears Campbell, Billy Shears (the name of the fictitious leader of Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band), William Sheppard (based on the inspiration for song "The Continuing Story of Bungalow Bill"), or some combination of the names.

Students of the bass guitar have claimed a marked difference between the style and quality of Paul's playing between earlier Beatles albums and later ones. This can be linked to a change in both style (influenced by Brian Wilson's melodic bass lines) and recording technique; prior to 1966 he often recorded his bass live, but around that year he began to overdub the bass parts with direct injection recording techniques, giving him a greater ability to form melodic bass lines. Additionally, according to McCartney in a 1988 Musician Magazine interview, the change in his bass playing coincided with a change in instruments. In 1966, Rickenbacker presented Paul with a custom-designed bass guitar, and he soon retired his Hofner.
