According to the information my son found, he died of an inoperapable lung diease. Here is a link we found:

Also, here is a little informtion from Wikepedia :
This article documents a current event. Information may change rapidly as the event progresses.
Knievel died in Clearwater, Florida on November 30, 2007, at the age of 69. He had been suffering from diabetes and pulmonary fibrosis for many years. Longtime friend Billy Rundel reported that Knievel had trouble breathing while at his residence in Clearwater, but died before the ambulance could reach the hospital. "It's been coming for years, but you just don't expect it. Superman just doesn't die, right?" was Rundel's reaction.[12]
I am saddened that a man with so much guts and showmanship had to, basically, suffocate in his own home (of course it's better than being in a rest home). I would think that he would rather have died doing a jump (something he loved to do). He will be missed by me if not by others.
