There is a member of my Stake Presidency that likes to say that there are three groups in the church. 1. Strong, active members 2. Inactive members 3. Inactive members who think they are active. I think for most it comes slowly, there are some that have a bad experience or tragedy and they stop coming immediately, but for most, I think they may slowly slip from being #1 type to the #3 type. I think that not paying tithing is probably just a one of the stepping stones into inactivity but that many other steps were taken prior to that. Just my thoughts.
