cocaine causes cardiac excitation, the heart begins to beat too rapidly and over time cannot continue, it simply stops.

Cocaine causes the coronary arteries to constrict, blood pressure rises and the blood supply to the heart diminishes. This can cause heart attacks or convulsions within an hour after use. Chronic users and those with hypertension, epilepsy, and cardiovascular disease are at particular risk. Studies show that even those with no previous heart problems risk cardiac complications from cocaine.

Cocaine speeds up your heart rate, so it is as if you are running a marathon, but most people who use crack are not all over healthy enough to run a marathon, so in easy terms, you just ask your heart to do more than it can in a short amount of time and it quits.
