Alexander the great died at the age of 33 because of a fever and because he died no leaders in his empire were strong enough to take control so it later fell apart after a few years

According to legend, on his deathbed Alexander said he left his empire "to the Strongest". This led to the division of the Empire amongst his various generals as no actual successor was named. Therefore, although Alexander didn't actually 'lose' his empire, per se, he was indirectly responsible for it's disintegration.
