If the death is needed for other characters to develop. Kill them off. Books do it all the time (Harry Potter, Shakespeare is the king of this). I just killed off one of my favorite characters, but it had to be done. Bringing the person back to life? Well, if you have established the rules for such a thing in your book, you can. But the foundation for the ressurection needs to be in place, otherwise it is very soap opera-ish.
