What happened March 37 AD

Tiberius died in Misenum on 16 March AD 37, a few months before his 78th birthday.

At the time of Tiberius's death, most of the people who might have succeeded him had been killed. The logical successor (and Tiberius' own choice) was his 24-year-old grandnephew, Gaius, better known as "Caligula" ("little boots").
