For death you have sample keys to use, if no message is given as second argument then it is considered disabled and the default death message will be displayed.
There are probably some yesEntity or noEntity sources that were omitted, feel free to add them to your config file and everything should work.
For every other field in actions you can define multiple commands, death is the only exception.
