How did the first lie lead to death for the first human couple, according to these scriptures?

Genesis 3:1-6

Romans 5:12

That is why, just as through one man sin entered into the world and death through sin,+ and so death spread to all men because they had all sinned+—.

    The lie was from Satan the devil. Adam had a wonderful relationship with the Creator. Eve, the first woman, was deceived by that lie which appeared to come from a serpent but it was from the devil actually. After Eve ate from the forbidden fruit she told Adam who could have refused to eat. Just the opposite, he was afraid to lose her so he went along. How tragic that he gave a death sentence to the human race. We were given a way out though. Jesus sacrifical death opened the way to be reconciled before God. In fact, on April 11 millions will gather together to commemorate Christ's memorial of his death or as some call it the Lord's evening meal. Hope to see many newly interested there!

    Adam & Eve were physically alive, but their spirits were dead (could not fellowship with God). So all their children and their children's children were also spiritually dead.

    You DO realize the "first human couple" story is just a myth, right?
