We say…

He died of fever. (Correct)

We do not say….

He died through fever. (Incorrect)
He died by fever. (Incorrect)
He died owing to fever. (Incorrect)
He died on account of fever. (Incorrect)
He died with fever. (Incorrect)

Again, though we always say…die of fever,

We never say….sick of fever.

This is so in spite of the fact that both WITH and OF are used in the sense of cause.
