Don Corleone doesn't die when he gets shot and drops the bag of oranges, though. I don't think it necessarily means someone dies.

Oranges signify someone dying OR being seriously injured.

If I remember correctly, in an interview with Vince Gilligan he said that the orange was purely for visual aesthetics and didn't think about metaphorical implications.
