This doesn't seem to even vaguely resemble a case of a protagonist who suddenly dies to something unexpected. That he was dead was clear from the beginning, he had the hubris to deny the supernatural, so it killed him. He made one decision, then he died. This was never heroic fantasy to begin with, let alone something that resembles the described hero going out to do heroic things, then dying to some random obstacle that started this conversation.
