Grindelwald's death is mentioned in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. After Grindelwald refused to tell Lord Voldemort where he could find the Elder Wand (and that it would never belong to him), the dark wizard grew angry and frustrated, killing Grindelwald in his cell.
In 1945, at the height of Grindelwald's power, Dumbledore confronted and defeated him in a legendary duel. He was subsequently imprisoned in his own fortress for decades, and was finally slain there by Lord Voldemort in 1998 when he refused to give up the location of the Elder Wand.

Voldemort has yet to appear in the Fantastic Beasts franchise, but he is still part of the overall timeline and it's possible to guess what he's doing during that time.

Believing that wizardkind was oppressed by the non-magical, Grindelwald sought to establish a new world order in which Witches and Wizards ruled over Muggles, claiming that his actions were "for the greater good". Over time, he managed to get a following that would serve as advisors and enforcers of his cause.
