She died October 16, 1793
She died because she was a ruling member of the French aristocracy. She represented all that was bad about the French class system at the time. When she said "Let them eat cake," she was expressing her disrespect and disdain for the common people.
Beheadding her was a symbol for the people, so they could take back their power.
