They have a designated area or 'elephant graveyard' they go to to pass away. Elephants will travel many miles to end up at the 'elephant graveyard. In most cases, they know when it is their time and will travel to elephant graveyards if they are able.
Most of the time, elephants do not die of old age. For the most part, they die of starvation. They spend most of their lives eating vegetation which requires a lot of chewing. Eventually their teeth grind down and then another one will take it's place. Similar to the way we lose our baby teeth as we grow older and then a new one comes in. With elephants however, this will happen four times in their lives. Once their teeth are eventually gone, they no longer can eat and therefor starve to death.
Elephants also die from poachers. The poachers take there tusks. They use the tusks to make jewelry and carve them. The tusks are made from ivory.
