The Bible itself does not tell us who was the first person to die a natural death, since it did not record or claim to record everything that happened. The first recorded natural death is that of Adam in Genesis 5:5.

5And all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years: and he died.

Given Adam's age it is possible that someone predeceased him naturally, although people certainly lived a great deal longer then. The only deaths of the original 12 recorded in Scripture are Judas and James, John's brother (Acts 12). But according to tradition, John is the only Apostle to have died a natural death.
