died off
Gradually went extinct
Died off describes a gradual process of dying until none remain.
Species die off through extinction, traditions die off through neglect, and old technologies die off as new ones replace them.
The phrase emphasizes collective disappearance over time rather than individual death: The last of the original settlers died off in the 1920s.
