Achilles was not immortal. He died during just prior to the sacking of Troy, killed by an arrow to the heel shot by Paris and guided by Apollo.
His invulnerability - not immortality- was acquired as an infant when his mother, Thetis, dipped Achilles in the river Styx, holding him by the heel which did not gain invulnerability.
