Well, the multiple planes of existance thing is a good idea - in Ground Zero, Shiver appears to draw Rabican into a Dream World (maybe where she remains after she is "killed"?), and then there's the Tain and that wierd spider-realm,...so maybe, on the Dream Plane, the Deciever's death throes were VERY big.
Before I continue, I'd like to point out that in the scripting for that level (or tags, I think it's scripting), there's a text linked to D's death saying something like "Yes, he's really dead!"
However, perhaps the reason he died is as follows: the Deciever genuinly appears to be trying to redeem himself (ironic when you think about the fact that he was the first of Connacht, Damas etc. to go bad). Could it be that by sacrificing himself to take out Shiver, he achieved that redemption, and in doing so became human (or near enough) once more, resulting in a more-or-less human death?
