Original Note:
This is complete nonsense; none of the ancient sources say this and it seems to have originated online. The two main ancient sources, Plutarch and Diodorus, both agree he lost his ability to speak. The latter specifically states his last words were "to the strongest." https://penelope.uchicago.edu/Thayer/E/Roman/Texts/Diodorus_Siculus/17F*.html#note85 https://penelope.uchicago.edu/Thayer/E/Roman/Texts/Plutarch/Lives/Alexander*/10.html
