Of course Fortnite features death, we aren't showering other players with love.
Elimination.
Death is such a harsh word.
Epic's official language for the game never features death. Characters are eliminated, you can meet the god of the underworld, but no character ever actually dies. Apparently the ESRB says it's ok
The language doesn't matter, you are still reducing people's health by shooting them, until their health reaches 0 and they cease to exist. Thus, it is death.
