Really, it depends on what your story is about, and how the character's death fits in with the plot, and what feeling you want to leave the readers with. I think it's best to have your character actually die, unless there is a sequel, and the character's "death" is an important plot point. It can be an interesting twist, but if it seems to the readers that the character dies, and there is no sequel, there is no point to it. If the character is the main character, their death will leave the readers sort of unhappy, but if the main character is also the antagonist, it may work. Readers usually want the good guys to win, I've found, so having the main character die only makes sense if they are an antagonist.

Most importantly, think about the character's role in your story, and just consider the outcome if they die, or simply seem like it.

Should a main character die if there is a second protagonist in the plot?

It depends if a character die in a way that it's appropriate, it also depend in what the character is doing. The main character has to be a total idiot if he/she dies at the very end. Never kill a good protagonist just to make him/her prove how heroic he/she is. If there is a second main character in the plot and that character take the place of the protagonist then that character should have been introduced at the beginning and throughout the story. -That's my opinion anyways.

What words can you use in writing dialogue instead of using the pronoun He?

"He" is perfectly fine. If you have a male character, you should refer to him by his name, by his title, or just by "he" - writers who constantly come up with flowery descriptions end up distracting the readers instead of letting them get into the story.
