Because eventually enough things in our body fail or something critical fails and our body can no longer maintain itself, our heart stops and so does oxygen delivery, ATP generation in cells, and all cellular processes including repair and all life itself (the transition from clinical to biological death).

Aging is just an accumulation of unrepairable damage and dysfunction. It gets to be too much, and death occurs. Or something catastrophic occurs, like a heart attack or the like.

Our body is simmilar to a rechargable batery. We can only re-charge so many times (heal), eventually we cant retain the energy we need to keep ourselves functioning, thus death. Our bodies naturaly slow down the healing time as we age, so it more likely that a moderate injury can cause death in an older person then someone of 20 yrs old. We just slow down and eventually stop producing the charge we need to heal.
