Ofcouse he didn't have to die.  But the plot line say
he is dead.  Ahhhhhh.  Or maybe he did have some
thoughts about dying early.  I think he worry about
being remember as another Rudoph Goldenbamm.  And now
he die young and the universe will remember him as the
person who ended the nobles, free the masses and
finally brought peace.  Almost like he is the one who
begin a new and better age for humanity.  Darn egos...
