The short answer to that is that Charles Dickens killed Charles Dickens. His friends believed that his public readings, which were vigorous and demanding, hastened his death. It's also possible that the strain of his relationship with Ellen Ternan (or actually the strain caused by his wife's reaction to Ellen Ternan) and the stresses inherent in juggling two households contributed to his death.
