Zippy asked how they died, not if they died. How they died wasn't explained in the original post, but usually when children die it's due to starvation or a prolonged, untreated illness. I assume that usually happens when someone leaves the game unattended for awhile, but sometimes according the posts I've read here anyway (I haven't experienced this myself) some of the virtual people seem to be more prone to sickness than others.
