Humans were not supposed to die.
All forms of vegetable life, as well as animal life, are transitory. A long-standing question among scientists has been, Why does man grow old and die?
Some scientists propose that there is a genetically determined life span for each cell. For support they point to experiments in which cells cultured in an artificial environment were found to stop dividing after about 50 divisions. Other scientists, however, contend that such experiments do not provide insight into why whole organisms age. Various other explanations are offered, including the theory that the brain releases hormones that play a large part in aging and subsequent death. That a person must be cautious about accepting one theory over another is suggested by the comments of Roy L. Walford, M.D., who said: “It’s not a cause for alarm or even surprise that Hayflick’s paradigm [the theory that aging is built into the cell’s genetics] may prove ultimately false, or be replaced by a better but ultimately equally false paradigm. Everything is true for its own time.”—Maximum Life Span, 1983, p. 75.
In considering the findings and conclusions of scientists, it should be noted that most do not credit life to a Creator. Through their own efforts, they hope to discover the secret of aging and death so as to extend human life indefinitely. They overlook the fact that the Creator himself decreed the death sentence for the first human pair, implementing that sentence in a way that man does not fully understand; similarly, he holds forth the prize of everlasting life to those who exercise faith in his Son.—Ge 2:16, 17; 3:16-19; Joh 3:16.

All living things die as a part of nature. Plants, trees and flowers and such like, die for fertilization and re-seeding. Animals, fish and fowl die as mostly part of the food chain, even insects live on the dead carcases of animals. Mankind is the only living creature that dies seeming needlessly. We are neither fertilizer or food. Mostly because we have bypassed the natural order. Any one who thinks we are the pinnacle of the food chain should walk into a pride of lions. LUNCH! Man kinds only contribution to death is the training of offspring they leave behind. So I suppose the answer would be that all things die as a way to make room for the next generation to survive.
Answer is condensed, but I am sure you get the idea.

Genesis 2:16-17
16 And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, "From any tree of the garden you may eat freely; 17 but from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat from it you shall surely die."
Hebrews 9:27-28
And inasmuch as it is appointed for men to die once and after this comes judgment, [28] so Christ also, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time for salvation without reference to sin, to those who eagerly await Him.

a million) existence might desire to no longer be completely favored and valued by people if it weren't for death. 2) no longer something actual lasts indefinitely. no longer the earth or something on it, no longer our solar, no longer the celebs, no longer our galaxy and in line with threat no longer even the universe. Why it is so could be defined by physics, yet why our universe must be outfitted that way is unknown and specific unknowable. 3) existence does not only come into being. there's no longer something in any respect hassle-free with reference to the technique. in actuality it ends much greater actual than it starts off. 4) faith might seem undesirable, terrible and evil to you, even with the undeniable fact that that's no longer that way for almost all of people. If that weren't so, there could be a approaches fewer followers of religion. 5) in case you probably did no longer have a vulnerable / lazy recommendations you does not be asking those questions.

Because they need to make way for the newcomers.
It's called the cycle of life.
