Well death in League is sorta the wrong word. Think of it like the assassin creed 2 (?) system in which your "link" get's cut off if you die. In League, that link is the connection between summoner and champion. If the champion hit's 0HP, that link is broken and the summoner needs a certain time to re-link (deathtimer).

So, in fact no champion dies within the leage, they just get a timeout - This is the official stance that was discussed by the lore team a bit ago. Like it or hate it as it's a game you're free to let your imagination go wild :p

Also @ that guy asking for death animation, this channel has some nice previews:
