For a fair amount of people, his death was an absolute necessity in order to complete the character arc, rather than something that troubles them. Yet I won't repeat my own thoughts on the subject at length, because it would be redundant given that we have never agreed.
No, it's fact that there was too little believable justification to bring it to the conclusion. Too much deus angst machina involved. If they were to kill Lelouch, they should have also killed Cornelia and several others, and also outed the responsible BKs as traitorous pussies. Not to mention that it left a still somewhat gullible younger sister as empress. If there's any logical aesop, it's that undeserving people often get ahead in the end.
