He is killed by his rebounding curse. In the final chapter - before the epilogue - in Deathly Hallows, Harry and Voldemort have their final showdown. Harry uses his signature charm, "Expelliarmus," and Voldemort, naturally, uses "Avada Kedavra." Voldemort's curse rebounds and kills him.

He eventually was able to die. However, he did take precautions against it. He would commit murders, and when his soul would tear (as the story stated would happen when someone murders), he would store the ripped portion in an object known as a horcrux. He could use these pieces to keep returning, less human each time.

Lord Voldemort created Horcruxes, pieces of dark magic in which you literally tear your soul and place a piece of it into a nonliving object. as long as your horcrux survives, so will your soul. there is a complex potion that can be brewed, in which a new body is born to accommodate the soul within the object. hence, if anyone tried to kill voldemort his soul lived on in six inanimate objects: helga hufflepuff's goblet, salazar slytherin's locket, marvolo gaunt's ring, rowena ravenclaw's diadem, voldemort's own diary, and his pet snake, Nagini.

He was hit by Avada Kedavra curse.
Harry doesn't die because of the bit of him that is Voldemort. (read the Kings Cross chapter in book 7)

So when Voldemort tries to do Avada Kedavra the SECOND time, Harry has Draco's wand, so uses a different spell, expelliarmus. Because expelliarmus makes the wand in the other person's hand fly OUT of their hand, the wand flies out of Voldemort's hand and the curse (I am pretty sure this is why) backfires, hits him and he dies.

Well, for starters, because according to Trelawney's prophecy "neither can live while the other survives", so one of them had to go. Secondly, because Voldemort wanted to introduce a Nazi--like state to Great Britain. Thirdly, as revenge for Voldemort having killed his parents in cold blood, as well as countless other people.
