Most likely, it will not be "humanity died out", but that we as as specie will change. Search for "bronze age collapse". There was quite advanced civilizations in mediterran area at time, but only Egypt survived. For most of other, was significant technological regress. Few thousand years later, after collapse of Roman Empire, there was technological regress too.
There can be few similar regress events in future, and most likely, Earth will be way more polluted. There will be different genetic pressure (resistance to cancerogens or radioactivity). And new specie will arise.

>But when all people have become useless, self-prop systems will find no advantage in taking care of anyone. The techies themselves insist that machines will soon surpass humans in intelligence. When that happens, people will be superfluous and natural selection will favor systems that eliminate them-if not abruptly, then in a series of stages so that the risk of rebellion will be minimized.
>Even though the technological world-system still needs large numbers of people for the present, there are now more superfluous humans than there have been in the past because technology has replaced people in many jobs and is making inroads even into occupations formerly thought to require human intelligence. Consequently, under the pressure of economic competition, the world's dominant self-prop systems are already allowing a certain degree of callousness to creep into their treatment of superfluous individuals. In the United States and Europe, pensions and other benefits for retired, disabled, unemployed, and other unproductive persons are being substantially reduced; at least in the U. S., poverty is increasing; and these facts may well indicate the general trend of the future, though there will doubtless be ups and downs.

Overextension
There will be no second Great Depression and the economy will keep growing as if infinite growth has finally been achieved. Then one day, when urbanization hits the peak and pretty much everyone is entirely dependent on 20 different supply chains to survive the month, the peak oil panic will finally happen and the price of food will double on a monthly basis, making it completely unaffordable for many of the urban citizens. No one would want to live in an urban environment of abnormal food prices and the whole real estate sector will crash. The expensive energy will in turn make every form of manufacturing unprofitable and no amount of QEs will ever solve this issue, annihilating the entire rest of the economy.
There is no escape from the oil exhaustion and no, fracking is not economically feasible. Yes, there's quite a lot of oil and gases in the ground but the infrastructure needed to be built to get them out of there is much more expensive than what we can afford or even could afford, even if we had an economy twice as healthy as this one. Nuclear energy is still not feasible and green energy has an even sadder EROI. Fusion is insanely unfeasible and will continue to be that way until the end of this century.

To finally answer your question, humanity will kill itself by having nations starved of cheap energy revert to outright plunder and military colonization for nothing else but to prevent their own collapse. Europe doesn't produce oil, Europe will have to pull a Hitler 2.0 and annex Russia for real this time. China is in an even worse condition so you can only imagine what the then-superpower would decide to do to prevent a complete collapse. America will lose its influence in the Middle East ending the "petrodollar" which along with the unfeasible fracking, will force them to turn imperialistic.
In that environment, one bullet fired by a mistake can end in a complete nuclear annihilation of Earth.

Meanwhile, fierce competition among global self-prop systems will
have led to such drastic and rapid alterations in the Earth’s climate, the
composition of its atmosphere, the chemistry of its oceans, and so forth,
that the effect on the biosphere will be devastating. In Part IV of the present
chapter we will carry this line of inquiry further: We will argue that if the
development of the technological world-system is allowed to proceed to
its logical conclusion, then in all probability the Earth will be left a dead
planet—a planet on which nothing will remain alive except, maybe, some
of the simplest organisms—certain bacteria, algae, etc.—that are capable
of surviving under extreme conditions.

It is already happening in the 1st world as I said, but as wealth shifts to the East and elsewhere gets richer, their birth rates are decreasing as well. Give it another 200 years and whites will be on the verge of Native-American tier extinction with everyone else declining as well.

Realising that you will die is a sign of maturity.
