Slaves die because they were hungry, thirsty, tired all the time, and toremented...
Many died from suffocation, but disease was responsible for about 70% of deaths. Outbreaks of dysentery, a disease caused by contaminated drinking water, were the main killers. Scurvy, a disease caused by a lack of vitamin C, also took many lives. Infectious Diseases like smallpox and measles were also common.

How were slaves captured in Africa?
More than 60 million slaves were put into one boat, very squashed inside one boat and every day 1 or 2 slaves would die and they would throw them in the sea!The above is sooo wrong! Obviously, 60 million slaves weren't put into one boat! Some slaves would die in the ship. Slaves would throw themselves off the ship! The crew didn't throw them!Back to the question.... Slaves were captured by other Africans.
How were slaves packed onto the ship?
In tight pack or loose pack. Tight pack is where the slaves where layed on their side, and loose pack is where the slaves where layed on their back. The tight pack allowed more slaves to be on the ship but this caused more slaves to die as they were closer together and suffocated more.
