Why do men die according to the Bible?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that men die because of sin; death is the result of the fall as recorded in Genesis 3.

The biblical explanation for death is intricately tied to the fall of man as recounted in Genesis 3. When Adam ate the forbidden fruit, he not only brought sin into the world but also the penalty of death. God's declaration, 'for in the day that thou eatest thereof, thou shalt surely die,' underscores the spiritual separation from God that accompanies sin. Thus, physical death is a manifestation of this spiritual death; all men die because all have sinned in Adam. This understanding is crucial in grasping the full gravity of the Gospel and the necessity of Christ’s redemptive work to overcome death.
