Best Answer

He died when Severus Snape used Avada Kedavra on him in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. It turned out that Snape killed Dumbledore upon Dumbledore's request. Dumbledore did not want Lord Voldemort to gain power of the Elder Wand, so he had a man that he trusted kill him so that Dumbledore would be the last true master of the wand.

Snape had been Dumbledore's man ever since Voldemort threatened Lily Evans life. Snape then begged Dumbledore to help protect her. In return Snape was to suggest to Voldemort that he pretend to join the Order of the Phoenix as a spy, in reality he was spying on the Death Eaters for the Order and only passing on select information to Voldemort.
He was killed by snape under the orders of both voldemort and dumbeldore himself. He then fell over a hundred. Feet off the highest tower at hogwarts.

Yes. He is killed by Professor Snape at the end of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. Draco Malfoy was ordered to kill him by Lord Voldemort and tried twice throughout the book endangering two people (Katie Bell who touched the necklace which was meant to be delivered to Dumbledore and Ron Weasley who drank the poison wine which was supposed to be given to Dumbledore as a Christmas present). However Severus vowed to Narissia (Draco's mother) that he would do the task should Draco fail and because he was losing his nerve Snape stepped in and cast the curse. In Deathly Hallows we find out that it was a planned murder. Albus Dumbledore had told Severus to kill him so that the Elder Wand (which Dumbledore was the current master of) wouldn't belong to anybody, or so Voldemort would think when he stole it, however Draco was the true master of the wand When Voldemort discovered that the wand wasn't working properly he killed Snape.

Dumbledore asked Snape to kill him knowing he was going to die anyway because he put the Horcrux ring on his finger and sent a curse thoughout his hand - had it spread he would have died anyway thankfully Snape managed to freeze it.

Yes he is, he died in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.

Draco Malfoy was ordered by Lord Voldemort to kill Dumbledore but Severus Snape made an unbreakable vow to Narcissia Malfoy, Draco's mother, that he would protect Draco.

However, Dumbledore had put on the Gaunt's family ring, which was cursed. Snape told Dumbledore that there was no way to completely stop said curse and he'd die within a year. Dumbledore then asked Snape to be the one to kill him because murder would mutilate Malfoy's soul and it would mean Dumbledore would die the master of the Elder wand, thus breaking it's power.

It is implied in the conversation between Snape and Dumbledore that it would not be murder if Snape did it because he was requesting it as a mercy killing, in a sense.

He dies when Snape performs the killing curse on him in the Half-Blood Prince. But Dumbledore was bound to die because he put a ring on his finger which was a Horcrux and there was a deadly curse on it. So he was bound to die.

Albus Dumbledore is a fictional character who doesn't exist in real life. However, the actor who played him in the first two movies, Richard Harris, passed away in 2002. The role was then recast and given to Michael Gambon.
