This is only a guess but many people may have died simply from exhaustion from extremely hard labor in unsafe working conditions. Poor food could also have caused them to be under-nourished. As a consequence many wall-builders may have died from deadly infections because their bodies were not able to fight off diseases as well as healthy bodies can do.

What were the effects of the Great Wall of China?
It made the world a smaller place. And made it bigger at the same time. The answer is "The Great Wall of China impacted the world very slowly," since the verb impact really means "to run into something, or to hit it." Slow building, laying a few bricks at a time. If you meant "How did the Wall affect the world?" the answer is "Only symbolically," as all such efforts do, being a sign to its enemies that the State was weak and a reminder to its people that the State was heartless.
