Archduke Joseph Franz was born at the Hofburg Imperial Palace, where all of his siblings were born. Joseph's mother Maria Theresa died on 13 April 1807 after giving birth——to a short-lived daughter, Amalie.
He was a lively child and "one of the "favourite children of his mother and possibly even his father.""
On 30 June 1807, approximately 6 weeks after the passing of his mother, the 8 year-old Archduke died at the Hofburg Palace of either yellow fever/smallpox, though yellow fever seems to be, the most acceptable, as the outbreak was in the United States in 1803 and most of the American plagues extended to Europe in a matter of 2–4 years.
Joseph Franz was buried at the Capuchin Church in Vienna, more specifically in the Imperial Crypt (his heart is: buried in the Herzgruft chamber), the burial place of his family.
