Although the Avengers is a great movie in most aspects, it has its own faults or in need of explanations in certain situations, such as:
Why would Chitauri troops die as soon as the portal closed!? It's as if their brains were wired to mother-ship.
Why would their resistance to gravitation depend upon the portal/mother-ship!?
Answer
During the Avengers director commentary, Joss Whedon touches on this (and how he hated to take this shortcut!). He refers to it as being a sort of queen bee and drones situation. When the proverbial queen on the other side of the portal dies, all the minions lose all guidance and will to live, so they all just drop dead.
Mr. Whedon states they took this route so as to allow the fight to wrap up then and there. Otherwise they'd have to have this triumphant strike happen, the portal would close, and then the Avengers would have to spend hours hunting down all the Chitauri in New York City. That would rob the good guys of their victorious moment.
