Death is the final objective, the final thing, in life. It's the one thing, regardless of how you live your life, that you will achieve.
Calling it an objective gives a wrong connotation as well. I would argue that the objective of life is to do stuff before you die. The definition of objective, in the way you're trying to use, is most concisely: "being the object or goal of one's efforts or actions."

Something that happens without our wanting it sort of isn't an objective. It usually has to be direct, too. To me, even dying to save another person's life doesn't make death the objective, it makes saving the other person's life the objective.
