A character could die in their own narration, but the chapter would have to instantly switch to another character to allow this to happen (unless the chapter continues with the character going to the Underworld). Even if the book is told in the third person, the narrator still only follows that one person like first-person (so you can read Annabeth's thoughts in her chapters, but you can't read Leo's thoughts in her chapter for example), making killing a character in their own narration more difficult.
