Building on what RTB said, death is the Ultimate Unknown for most people. The unknown is the ultimate breeding ground for fear. It is where "what if" can flourish, regardless of how ridiculous it gets.
I think it is possible to extrapolate that all fear, including fear of death, is rooted in the fear of the unknown. It makes a lot of sense, especially when you consider that fear usually disappears when we shine the light of knowledge on it.
