Just some other options:

1- mope to death
2- be killed by the grief of sth

The sentence can be translated as:

"Heavily in debt, his father finally moped to death."

Thank you so much.
disagree Edward Plaisance Jr : The resource is interesting but very outdated. No one would ever use this phrase in English today...if you had not posted the source, I would not even have accepted it as real English.
