Qin Shihuang died when Qin Shihuang traveled around the world. Qin Shihuang took his youngest son, Hu Hai, and other courtiers on a boat trip. After the death of Qin Shihuang, Hu Hai and Zhao Gao tampered with Qin Shihuang's letters and obtained the qualification to inherit the throne. During Qin Shihuang's death, officials in charge of guarding Qin Shihuang were also transferred by Zhao Gao. So Qin Shihuang was probably killed by Hu Hai and Zhao Gao.

First, after the death of Qin Shihuang, Qin Ershi died.

Qin Shihuang was the pioneer of the Qin Dynasty. Qin Shihuang claimed to be the first emperor and hoped that the Qin Dynasty would continue from generation to generation. However, it is a great pity that after the death of Qin Shihuang, Hu Hai did not hold the land of the Qin Dynasty. The Qin Dynasty perished during the reign of Hu Hai. Moreover, Xiang Yu also burned all the palaces of the Qin Dynasty. In history, Xiang Yu's burning of palaces in Qin Dynasty was called burning Epang Palace.

Second, after the death of Qin Shihuang, Fu Su committed suicide.

After the death of Qin Shihuang, Hu Hai and Zhao Gao not only wrote Hu Hai's succession in Qin Shihuang's imperial edict, but also asked Fu Su, Qin Shihuang's eldest son, to be martyred. Fu Su is a person who attaches great importance to filial piety, and Qin Shihuang did not make Fu Asu a prince, so Fu Su chose martyrdom after seeing the fake imperial edict. I don't think Fu will choose martyrdom, although in the eyes of future generations, Fu may be accused of unfilial. However, if Fu Su did not choose to be martyred at that time, but relied on his own soldiers to compete with Hu Hai, perhaps the Qin Dynasty would not have ended in Qin Ershi.

Third, Qin Shihuang was not in good health.

Although the death of Qin Shihuang had a very strong relationship with Zhao Gao and Hu Hai, we can't deny that Qin Shihuang's health was not particularly good. According to historical records, Qin Shihuang was often ill when he was a teenager. Many experts and scholars think that Qin Shihuang may have meningitis. Moreover, Qin Shihuang was addicted to immortality and took many pills, so his physical fitness was not very good.
