      Hiya, well We die because life ends, and life ends becuase one or more of the vital organs (like the brain, heart, liver etc.) stops working – and this happens at differerent times / ages for differnt people.
      There are lots of ways people can die; unexpectedly due to accidents or becuase a disease has stoped the body working properly, or from extreme old age when physically things just stop working properly. Its as if all the things going on inside just run out of steam and can’t work. Its nature and the cycle of life, then life must end at some point in time. Hope that helps.
