The real question is: why Jesus died?
Jesus is innocent and sinless. However, he suffered and die. Why? Because human is sinful, and Jesus has to die and save us from sin.
While an innocent man has already suffered without complaints, why do we ask "why sinful men suffer?" We age, ill and die because of our sin.
The good news is that Jesus has already died for us, and although we still suffer physically in the world, we won't eventually, and we shall have eternal lives, if we accept him as our personal savior.
How do we explain it to non-Christians? We can explain as how the Bible teaches us, but it is up to the Holy Spirit to open their heart to understand human being's sinful nature.
