I had originally taken 'death' to be used in a plural instance. Similar to how, for example, a warrior could be standing amid a field of battle surrounded by death (not deaths). This is perhaps a more archaic or poetic interpretation of the world.
Of course, the word 'first' in the title is definitively singular, which entirely invalidates my rational. Go me for overlooking that fact at first pass.
