Actually, most people do not die. More than 3,000 people have summited Everest since Sir Edmund Hillary and Sherpa Tenzing Norgay made the first ascent (56 years ago yesterday). Only 210 have perished. However, the principal cause of death on Everest is hypoxia combined with rapidly changing weather. The air pressure is not sufficient to force oxygen from the lungs into the blood in sufficient quantities -- sometimes even for people using supplemental oxygen. This can cause a number of problems, including pulmonary edema, loss of endurance, hypothermia (caused by rapid breathing of the cold air), confusion and slow thinking.
Combine that with conditions that no human was designed to live in and violent, rapidly changing weather, and it is a testament to the skills of the professionals on the mountain that such a high percentage make it down alive.
