According to the Mahabharata, the death of Krishna was due to a curse by Gandhari. Her bitter anger after witnessing the death of her sons caused her to utter this curse, because Krishna did not do enough to stop the war. Upon learning of the curse, Krishna smiled and accepted it, stating that his duty was to fight for the righteous side, not to prevent the war.
According to references in the Bhagavata Purana and Bhagavad Gita it has been interpreted that Krishna died around 3100 BCE.[5] This is based on the description of Krishna's leaving Dwarka thirty-six years after the Battle of the Mahabharata. The Matsya Purana says that Krishna was eighty-nine years old when the battle was fought. Thereafter the Pandavas ruled for a period of thirty-six years, their rule was in the beginning of the Kali Yuga. It further says that the Kali Yuga began on the day Duryodhana was felled to ground by Bhima meaning that the year 2007 would equate to the year 5108 (or similar) of the current Kali Yuga.

After the Kali Yuga starts Lord Krishna know last days has came for Yadavas and him. So he knew the curse of Kaanthari and went to the Jungle alone. As by the purana the secret of his life is in the toe's thumb finger. He sat alone under a tree with his right leg on the left leg. A hunter named Jara pointed his toe's thum finger assuming its as a Deer and shot. After that he realised the mistake but Lord Krishna says these all are done as like by me so dont worry.
