[Warning: This article contains major spoilers for RDR2.]
Arthur's death in shouldn't come as much of a surprise, even before players learn he contracted active tuberculosis. The character isn't mentioned at all in the first so it makes sense the prequel-sequel would follow in the footsteps of its predecessor, and finish the story with the protagonist's tragic, untimely death. And indeed, death comes for Arthur Morgan before is through.
There are actually two ways Arthur can die, depending on a variety of player choices.

Again, this is impossible. There's nothing in that even hints at the idea that Arthur can muscle through his condition, or that some hermit is hanging out in the trees, ready to cure Arthur's tuberculosis with a mystical mixture of natural herbs.
