What causes black holes to form?

Most black holes form from the remnants of a large star that dies in a supernova explosion. (Smaller stars become dense neutron stars, which are not massive enough to trap light.) ... When the surface reaches the event horizon, time stands still, and the star can collapse no more - it is a frozen collapsing object.
