Because Krakatoa volcano are so dangerous and so many pepole died with axis gas.
Locally by ash and gases; there and more widely by the tsunami the final explosion threw up. it's possible that the volcano collapsed underwater so the final and extremely violent blast was of steam from the sea quenching the magma chamber.

How hot is Krakatoa's surface?
Much of Krakatoa's surface is the same temperature as any othe ground surface. During an eruption, the surface can be close to 2000 degrees where lava is present.
Is krakatau active or dormant?
As scary as it seems, no! Krakatoa actually reformed after an island destroying eruption in 1883. Now Krakatoa is back and has erupted visibly, (not underwater) periodically between around the 1930's to 2007. Thankfully these eruptions were small and any major eruption like that in 1883 will likely occur in hundreds of years.

Krakatoa was loud enough to be heard almost anywhere on the planet. When it blew people within range of it where killed by the force.
