How does Horatio die in hamlet?
Horatio didn't die in Hamlet. The following is from Wikipedia (search was for Hamlet with Horatio): Horatio is present through most of the major scenes of the play, but Hamlet is usually the only person to acknowledge that he is present; when other characters address him, they are almost always telling him to leave. He is often in scenes that are usually remembered as soliloquies, such as Hamlet's famous scene with the skull of Yorick. Horatio is also present during the mousetrap play, the discovery of Ophelia's madness (though the role of an anonymous gentleman-courtier has been substituted in this scene), Hamlet's display at Ophelia's grave, and the all-important final scene. He is the only major main character to survive all the way to the end of the play. In performance, the part of Horatio is the only major part that can't be doubled, i.e. that can't be played by an actor who also plays another character, since he is present in scenes involving nearly every character.
Who is the last person in the Hamlet play to speak?
There are more people than one alive at the end of the play. Fortinbras is still alive, since he delivers the last line. Horatio is usually also still alive (except in one production where Fortinbras had him shot). The English Ambassador (and other ambassadors if any) is still alive. Osric is usually still alive (but not in the Kenneth Branagh film). And of course there are all kinds of characters who are alive offstage--we usually count Rosencrantz and Guildenstern's offstage death, so why not them?
Who is left alive in hamlet?
Horatio is the only main character in Hamlet to survive the final scene. However Fortinbras also survives the play, and some might consider his a main character. Though he doesn't appear until the end of the play, he is referenced numerous times, and ultimately becomes the new king of Denmark.

Hamlet is the last person to actually die in the play. However, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are the last people to have been mentioned dead--by Fortinbras I believe.
Who is second last to die in Hamlet?
Usually it's Laertes. However, a lot depends on how the director chooses to stage it. In one production, Fortinbras's army lays hold of Horatio and put him up against the wall. Fortinbras says, "Go, bid the soldiers shoot" and they shoot Horatio. In that production Hamlet was the second last to die.

What is Hamlet's last words Why does it matter who tells his story after he dies?
Hamlet's last words are "The rest is silence." He has just charged his friend Horatio to "tell my story". It certainly does make a difference who tells the story, since the prejudices and assumptions of the teller are so deeply ingrained that we do not think of questioning them. For example, we often see Claudius portrayed as a lecher and a drunk. Why? Because we listen to Hamlet's opinion of Claudius--because we are getting his version of his story.
How is Hamlet's questionable madness starkly contrasted with Ophelia's real madness in act 4?
Ophelia is, by Act 4, no longer a functional person. The king orders Horatio to "follow her close; give her good watch I pray you" because she cannot look after herself. Hamlet, on the other hand, although we do not see him very much in Act 4, is very much able to look after himself. In the scene immediately following Ophelia's last appearance, Horatio receives a letter in which Hamlet describes how he helped defend his ship against pirates, boarded the pirate ship and now has convinced them to return him to Denmark. He is still more than competent.
What was Hamlet relation to the skull?
The Skull is Yorrik's, the court jester when Hamlet was a young boy. In the last Act, when Hamlet has escaped his attempted enprisionment in England, he runs into a grave digger, digging Ophelia's grave. Much more is happening in the scene besides that, but to the point; Hamlet takes Yorrik's skull in his hands, and is shaken from seeing a boyhood friend of his dead. From here, he goes on a philosophical rant about death, life, and how all of us humans end up dead, as a pile of bones. a fantastic scene, and my personal favorite among Hamlet's monologues/dialogues (he converses with Horatio, abet one-sidedly)
