Kinds of 'fuel' and the mass and the stars determines how it dies. If it is large enough, it will create a Neutron Star or a Black Hole; if it is some size close to our sun, it will become dwarf planets.

Mainly its mass. A massive star will get hotter and use up its fuel much faster. The most massive stars only live for a very short time - like a few million years. A star the size of our Sun can live a few billion years, and a red dwarf - which has quite a bit less mass than our Sun - can live some trillion years - quite a difference!

Its initial mass. There are other factors (e.g. whether the star is in orbit around another star) but mass is by far the most important.
