Death and life are opposites - so saying that death is part of life is like saying that silence is part of sound. Neither statement is correct. While our minds are often conditioned to define one from each of these two pairs of opposites as being relative to it's opposite concept, the reality is that you will not find silence in sound, sound in silence, death in life or life in death.
Death of the body is a process and experience that can be encountered as part of creation and existence - however, that does not mean that death is part of life. I feel that there is a gap being presented here in the defining of the word 'life' - whereby the word 'life' is being used to describe existence itself - rather than the state of being that life really is.

Does that make sense?
Yes. I see where you are coming from.
Death is part of 'this' life, though.
I used the term 'life' as meaning 'this material existence'.
