Why would an established apple tree suddenly die? It has had loads of blossom on and small apples started and then died.

It's a very difficult question to answer. However, members of the rosacae family tend to have a 25-50 year life span, they're also fairly prone to fire blight.

I had a big prunus down the garden a few years ago...absolutely fine then i went away for a few days, got back and it was completely dead !!!

they are also susceptible to honey fungus. peel some bark off and see if there is a white 'mushroom' smelling layer under the bark. if yes it is honey fungus.
