I slightly disagree on one point. For the sake of, at least willing, suspension of disbelief, if you're going to kill off a character, it should be in third person. First person view seems more like "I did X, and then I died." It completely shatters the believability of the story.

However, to kill a character off after the fact, is a different story. Such as, a journel where the guy says he's about to kill himself, and then no more entries show up, for a weak example, is believable if it has a believable story behind it.
