  The asymptotic behavior, as $n\rightarrow \infty $ of the probability of the
event that a decomposable critical branching process
$\mathbf{Z}(m)=(Z_{1}(m),...,Z_{N}(m)),$ $m=0,1,2,...,$ with $N$ types of
particles dies at moment $n$ is investigated and conditional limit theorems are
proved describing the distribution of the number of particles in the process
$\mathbf{Z}(\cdot)$ at moment $m<n,$ given that the extinction moment of the
process is $n$.
  These limit theorems may be considered as the statements describing the
distribution of the number of vertices in the layers of certain classes of
simply generated random trees having a fixed hight.
