I've entered multiple new villages in multiple worlds. If I stay in the village, I always notice the population dropping, despite no events occurring that would kill the villagers. There is no specific rate of decline, but after several in-game days, the village always winds up empty. Villagers won't breed in times of low population, causing the entire village to become deserted.
Edit: The villagers are, in fact, dying. They leave their doors open and get killed by monsters in their beds.

Note that this desertion of the village can also occur because they wander so far away that they never find their way back. I have found that this happens whenever there is no bell in the village.
I was mistaken about whether the villagers died.
It seems that the villagers are leaving their doors open after going in to sleep for the night, and monsters are killing them in their houses.
