It's like the idea of show don't tell, instead of just plainly saying he is dead, you could express it in a different way, to give it an added effect when you make that twist at the end.
No, the word death does not mean that he is dead.
It's portraying his realization. The thought that "Man is not defined until his death."
I never said that he was dead. (In the poem.)
I said that he will be defined in his death.
Hence the name, "One Last Thought".
