Why did Phil Hartman have to die?

Why did Phil Hartman have to die?

Just watching some Newsradio after working a 12 hour day, feet killing me, the cats asleep on the bed and the dog on the couch and no one here but us chickens, was hoping to do some Spanishdict stuff but I guess everyone is either asleep or out partying.

So in typical Jeezzle fashion:

¿Por qué se murió Phil Hartman? (No personal A right? or does it need to be personal A, I think no but I can't say why, maybe the deadness of it?)

Anyway no way to say "have" like, why did Phil Hartman have to die? right? Just ¿Por qué se murió Phil Hartman? Is that the best way?

In case you don't know, after an argument his wife shot him then killed herself, terrible, he was quite possibly , the funniest guy on the planet. (and now the honor goes to Bill Murray)

Gracias.

No need for personal a. Phil Hartman "did the action of dying."

He died: (él) se murió.

why did Phil Hartman have to die?

¿Por qué Phil Hartman tuvo que morir(se)?

"Phil Hartman" acts as the subject of this sentence, so, no, there is no need for the personal "a."
