I thought Hagoromo died in the first place because he was in fact originally a jinchurki. He sealed the ten tails inside himself, became the sage of six paths, spread chakra through the land etc... later in his life he took the ten tails chakra out of himself and moulded it into the 9 tailed beasts. All that was left inside him was the husk of the ten tails, which is enough to keep you alive as shown when obito got the ten tails chakra extracted from him in the form of the tailed beasts. Then on his deathbed maybe was when he finally did chibaku tensi and sealed the husk on the moon. He died sometime later due to completely losing his tailed beasts+ statue.
