Well, yes, but then a star was never alive in the first place, so this
does very much depend on how "death" is used. Even in the case of a type
1a supernova, you are left with an active object in the same location as
the original pair of objects, and containing lots of the original
material. Death? I don't know. Anyway, it really just word games we are
playing here.
