Typically major organ failure. When a heart, which is a pump, has been beating 24/7 for decades it wears out and eventually just stops working. It can be true for other organs, but the heart is a common failure and a complete heart failure is always fatal. We cannot survive unassisted without a heart to pump our blood.
