I think they were alive when they entered the light fixture, attracted by light. They died in there because they didn't drop bread crumbs on the way in so they had no clue where the entry/exit was. They died of dehydration and starvation. I don't mean to be facetious but I hope your question was in ernest.

Many insects are attracted to the light and warmth of the fixtures. While they're trying to get closer to the light they sometimes find tiny little holes around the light fixtures that they can squeeze into. Insects aren't the most intelligent creatures and they don't remember how to get out, so they eventually starve to death or burn themselves on the light bulbs.
Some fixtures appear to be sealed but there are still tiny holes Sometimes insects will lay their eggs near one of these tiny holes and the larvae will hatch and crawl towards the light for warmth. When they finally grow to full size they can't get out and quickly starve to death.
It's also possible that the eggs were laid inside the light at the factory before it was assembled.

Well, they aren't dead when they get in there. They find a way in because they are attracted to the light, but the heat eventually kills them. If you have a camp fire you will notice spiders and some other insects walk right into the flame.
