Hagoromo was the jinchuuriki of the ten tailed Rabbit and made everyone Jinchuuriki.

Judging from chapter 690 this is what happened in the fight with his mother.

>Hagoromo and Hamura turned the Juubi's body into a CT. >The chakra of the Juubi split into ten tailed beasts because of this. >Hagoromo becomes the Jinchuuriki of the ten tailed rabbit(Kaguya). >Hagoromo spreads the chakra of the Rabbit to the people.

That's why people die when they run out of chakra. It's because they basically jinchuurikis themselves. Once a Jin loses most of the chakra of a tailed beast they die.
