My alternator failed at about 210K miles. They go bad more often than people think, especially if you run accessories often like I do.
The only time I had a vehicle die while the engine was on that wasn't the alternator was years ago on my old Pickup. I installed a new battery at night to replace the old battery that was one start away from failing and was so proud of myself that I fixed it before it left me stranded. Drove to work the next morning and it died in the parking lot. Opened the hood to see that in the dark, I failed to remove the black post cap on the negative terminal. Oops.
