Death occurs when the star has expended all it's nuclear fuel, and fusion comes to a stop. Usually this means the star will at first expand to multiple times it's previous volume (mass is still steadily decreasing). Then, the star will be burning fuel in on more of its surface rather than it's core, and eventually does one of two things. Nova, which is a more peaceful, like shedding of the gas until all that remains is a gravity collapsed White Dwarf (about 5,000 miles radius). Or, Supernova, which occurs in stars less stable but larger than the sun, in other words a BIG EXPLOSION that lasts a few days. The force and amount of matter is undeniably higher, so the resulting dead star is smaller and even denser (Neutron star 5 miles radius, density about the weight of a typical mountain for each teaspoonful). Or, if the mass of the original star exceeds 1.44 the mass of the sun, it collapses into a black hole, which has no volume but still very formidable mass. I don't have to explain what it does, I think most human beings know.

What happens as stars die?

Exactly what happens depends on the mass of the star. Low mass stars first expand into giants, then shrink to white dwarfs. Stars with a little more mass than the Sun end up as neutron stars; stars with considerably more mass with the sun end up as black holes.

How many stars are born and die each day?

It is estimated that around 275 to 7,000 stars are born each day in the observable universe. As for the number of stars that die each day, this is more difficult to estimate precisely, but on average, a few large stars likely go supernova every century in a galaxy like the Milky Way, which contains billions of stars.
