The simplest answer is that J. R. R. Tolkien died because he was an 81 year old human being. Tolkien died on September 2, 1973, of pneumonia. It's also important to note that he died 21 months after his wife passed away. Statistically, elderly men do not live long after the death of a long time spouse. For what reason is another question altogether.
