turtles die because they are hunted for their shells. also what many people don't know is that the spine of a turtle and the ribs are part of their shell. so when you remove the shell you remove part of the turtle important bones. though this is a very large reason for the deteriorating amount of live turtles in the world, turtles CAN NOT die of old age but die of injury and infecitons/diseases.
