They wear out over time, there could be a parasitic drain on the electrical system, something might have been left on.

Do loose battery cables cause car to go dead?

No, the alternator takes over for the battery once the car has been cranked. Try this, start the car; remove the positive cable from the battery; if the car dies, then you have a faulty alternator. Of course it makes sense to make sure the battery cables are tight at all times.

Will a loose battery wire cause a battery to go dead?

No. A loose battery connector will cause problems drawing power from the battery to start the vehicle, and it may present a bit of a problem charging it (but that is not likely because the charging current is low compared to the starting current). If you have a loose connector and the battery goes dead, clean and tighten your battery terminals and start making some checks. The loose connector will not cause your battery to go dead.
