Why did tasmainan tigers die?

The Tasmainan tiger was not a tiger at all. The animal was a marsupial also called the Tasmainan wolf. They died out due to pressure from humans who moved into their range and considered them a pest, much like the coyote of North America. Unlike the coyote the tasmainan tiger/wolf could or would not adapted to living with humans and has become extinct.
