The demise of massive stars results in black holes because the gravity of the star overwhelms the natural pressure that the star maintains to sustain its form. When the pressure from nuclear reactions drops, gravity overwhelms and destroys the star's core, and the star's various layers are hurled off into space, resulting in a supernova. The rest of the core collapses, leaving a place overrun by density and devoid of volume — a black hole.
