I mean, I don't really mind how he died. But I don't think he moved the plot, either. Because he indirectly caused these events to play out how they did...? That's more like coincidence. We also don't know if Carolina being there more would've made much difference, either; we can only guess. He didn't really cause anything to happen (non-indirectly) on his own that moved the plot significantly. He just felt like more character development for Carolina to me.
