You can also die after you have proven that you're detrimental on a massive scale. e.g. there was a string of assassination attempts on Hitler that intensified towards the end of WW2. No one would have forgotten about Hitler if he had been assassinated in 1943.

And that’s why I always say that biggest hero in WWII was the guy who killed Hitler.
