There is an estimate of how big a star would be if it "dies". When a star like the Sun exhausts its hydrogen fuel, it will undergo a series of evolutionary changes that can ultimately lead to the collapse of its core. At a certain limit (The Chandrasekhar Limit) the star is so heavy that matter collapses into a black hole (with a radius of zero!). The Birth and Death of the Sun. Stellar Evolution and Subatomic Energy by George Gamow
