You can die with your eyes either open or closed. For many people, especially the sick and the elderly, it is not uncommon to die in their sleep, in which case their eyes will be closed. However, some do die with their eyes open, in which case it is considered respectful to close that person's eyes.

Why some people die with eyes closed others eyes open?

Some people die with their eyes closed and open because some people die sudden and some people die slowly. For example, a person got shot. That would be a sudden death because they didn't expect it to happen and they would leave their eyes open. And another example, a person was really old and couldn't live any longer. They would know to shut their eyes because the know that they're going to die any second.
