Why did five pirates making off with the ransom for their hijacked tanker die?

Because they were trying to avoid having the ransom taken by other pirates!

"Other pirates on the shore wanted a tip from the pirates on the Sirius Star, so they started to fire in the air as our people approached the land," Libaan Jaama told CNN. "When our pirates heard the shots, they thought they would be robbed, so they tried to return to the tanker. In that quick turn the boat capsized."

What? ThereÂ’s no honor among thieves? Shocking!
