I don't know if you had it indoors or out, but mostly likely if it died, it was over-watering. Succulents can also get sunburned-brown spots on the leaves, or get too dry and start to shrivel. It would take a succulent a very long time to die from lack of water though. I think I have let my hens and chicks go for at least a month without water in a strawberry pot. Did you re-pot it when you got it home? Succulents do best in lighter soil. If you use regular potting soil it can stay wet for too long. My mom grows those in her kitchen and has for years.

Both of them died within a month. Really should have 'neglected' it more. Good, informative post!
