A rotted tooth hurts because the hard enamal covering the inner nerve has either softened or been stripped away. This allows infection, pressure and temperature differences to trigger the nerve which causes a toothache.

Does the pain stop when a tooth dies?

No the pain is actually more excrutuiating, if the tooth "rots out of your head" that means that the tooth is rotten and fell out, causing your gums to decompise because of plaque, this process is painful, and implants hurt.
