How does Hercules dies.. Who kill him and why?

Deianeira, Hercules' wife, made him a shirt spread with the blood of a centaur whom Hercules had slain with an arrow. Before he died, the centaur gave his blood to Deianeira with the false promise that it would keep Hercules faithful to her. Deianeira, suspecting Hercules was in love with another woman, gave him the shirt. The Hydra poison in the blood burned Hercules' skin to the bone. However it could not kill him so he built a fire and burned himself in it. That, my friend, is why Hercules is dead.
