Contrary to the previous answer, Gregor does not die because of his father. Gregor wills himself to die alone in his room because he feels horrible for being such a burden on his family and because he over heard his sister (whom he thought still loved him) talking to his parents saying that she couldn't stand Gregor and that she wanted to get rid of him. This complete alienation and lack of love and compassion led Gregor to realize he was unwelcome and out of misery, he willed himself to die.

It is left unstated and open to your own interpretation to what Gregor suffered from. It widely believed that Gregor suffered from a mental illness rather than a physical one.
The status of Grete's and Gregor's relationship in "The Metamorphosis" is important because it reveals the impact of Gregor's transformation on their family dynamics. Grete's changing attitude towards Gregor reflects the family's initial compassion turning into resentment and ultimately leading to Gregor's isolation and demise. This shift highlights the theme of alienation and the breakdown of familial bonds in the story.
