Henry's son, Edward VI, died 6 July 1553, probably from complications resulting from a fever and cough contracted in July that year. As with many royal deaths however there is no certain cause. He was aged 15.

Henry's eldest daughter, Mary I, died 17 November 1558 during an influenza epidemic although it is widely believed she had overian cysts or uterine cancer that would have contributed greatly to her death. She was 42 years old when she died.

Henry's younger daughter, Elizabeth I, died 24 March 1603 from natural causes/old age, many of her friends had died in the preceeding months leaving her in a depression from which she fell ill. She was 69 years old

Everyone dies, Henry VIII lived in the late 1400s and early 1500s. He was succeeded by a son, so if you mean why did they die before him, they didn't.

Probably form all the inbreeding. Catherine of Aragon was the 3nd and third cousin of Henry's mother and father repectively. No prenatal care, high infant mortaility rates, etc.
