How does Hercules dies.. Who kill him and why?
Deianeira, Hercules' wife, made him a shirt spread with the blood of a centaur whom Hercules had slain with an arrow. Before he died, the centaur gave his blood to Deianeira with the false promise that it would keep Hercules faithful to her. Deianeira, suspecting Hercules was in love with another woman, gave him the shirt. The Hydra poison in the blood burned Hercules' skin to the bone.

Hercules' wife accidentaly kills him. The Centaur Nessus offered to take them across a river that they needed to cross.

Before dying, Nessus tells Deianeira to take some of his blood and save it in case Hercules becomes unfaithful (he said the blood would make him fall back in love with her).

Did nessus kill Hercules?
Technically speaking, yes. As he lay mortally wounded by Hercules' arrow, poisoned with hydra venom, Nessus gave Deianira (Hercules' wife) his blood. He told her it was a love potion and advised her to use it on her husband if he ever proved unfaithful to her. One day, Deianira became jealous of her husband and another woman. She dipped a robe in the blood of Nessus and sent it to Hercules, thinking he would fall back in love with her. Instead, the hydra venom in Nessus' blood tortured Hercules. He was in so much pain that he built a funeral pyre and sat on it, begging everyone to light it and end his suffering. Someone eventually did, but that's another story.
What destroyed Hercules?
After Heracles shot the centaur, Nessus, because he tried to run off with his wife, Deianira, the centaur told her to collect some of his blood. He said if she was ever afraid of losing Heracles love, she should put some of the blood on his tunic and he will love her again. One day when Hercules was at a war, he called home for his best tunic. He wanted to celebrate with his men, but Deianira thought he was dressing up for a women. She painted the blood on his tunic and sent it off to Hercules. When he put it on, his skinned burned. The "love potion" turned out to be a mix of centaur blood and poison from the arrows. Since Hercules was so strong, the poison could not kill him. The pain was so great though, Hercules had his men build a funeral pyre. When Hercules climbed on, they sent fire to it. Before Hercules burned though, he was raised to Olympus, where he was made a god.
