Stalin died literally in his bed, secure and surrounded by dozens of protecting bodyguards who ironically were so afraid to bother him that his stroke wen't unattended for hours after he'd had it. And in dying at 74, he enjoyed what despite the hard toll of heavy smoking, drinking, eating richly, and deprivation in his youth, was a pretty decent lifespan by the standards of his time.
Hitler ultimately died from the sheer gambler's recklessness of reaching for far too much that belonged to too many other powers, and being burned by all the consequences. Had he not started a multi-front world war against almost every single one of the world's other major nations, he could have stayed safely in power as Germany's beloved dictator right up until any old age he managed to reach (as Franco pulled off by much more wisely focusing on consolidating domestic power and avoiding wars)
Societies do have ways of dealing with tyrants, yes, and mostly it's just by rewarding them with more. The bad parts mostly happen to utterly foolish tyrants who make tremendous missteps.
