Halley's Comet is not really alive; it's just a glob of ice and rocks and dust, falling around the solar system. But even though it is not alive, it will eventually "die", because each pass by the Sun boils away some of the ice, which releases some of the dust and rock.
Some day, the core of the comet's nucleus will become so unstable that it will disintegrate. It probably will not explode, but gas pockets have caused comets to explode before, so it's possible. We don't really know how Halley's Comet is constructed, so we can't give an accurate estimate of its lifespan, but it seems likely to survive for several million years.
