It depends on the functioning of live cell to live and replicate. The virus depends on the energy producing ATP of the cell by its mitochondria. The cell dies when it stops and so does the virus.  Once the infected cell is dead and its lysosomes have liberated the lytic enzymes inside the cell for autolysis, every thing inside the cell is digested.
