People die if they cannot fullfill the basic needs of human survival which includes food, shelter and clean water. Poverty can mean that you aern't constantly meeting these needs. In which case you can't eat, or are getting dirty water that makes you sick, or you don't have appropriate shelter which could lead to getting sick or hurt by extreme sun, extreme cold or other environmental hazards
