Some plays have characters whose names mean things, like Everyman or Middleton's Revenger's tragedy (where the one who wants revenge is called Vindice and the stupid one is called Supervacuo). Shakespeare sometimes did this too: In Two Gentlemen of Verona Proteus is changeable and Valentine is the true lover. But Othello is not one of those plays. Iago is just the Italian version of Jim and that's all. It doesn't mean anything.

How did Othello die?
Desdemona is killed by Othello, Iago kills Emilia (his wife) as Emilia reveals that Desdemona has been falsely accused of adultery and then Othello kills himself rather than live with what he has done. In Act V, Cassio kills Roderigo after Roderigo attempts to stab Cassio (he wants Cassio dead so that he can keep Othello and Desdemona from leaving the country, and get closer to Desdemona, whom he loves from afar). Unfortunately, instead of Roderigo's sword penetrating Cassio's flesh, he finds that Cassio has armor on, and stabs Roderigo back.
