Salt. The Dead Sea is almost nine times more salty than the ocean, and for this reason there aren't a lot of things that can live in it (some bacterial and microbial fungi can manage it).
It's also "dead" in a hydrological sense: it has only inflows; there are no streams or rivers flowing out of it (since the shores of the Dead Sea are already the lowest dry land on Earth at over 400 m below sea level, there's nowhere lower for any streams or rivers to flow to). This contributes to its hypersalinity, as the only natural way for water to leave the Dead Sea is by evaporation, leaving the dissolved minerals behind.
