Something happens to the personification of Death which makes no one able to die. At first this seems like a great thing, but it quickly turns into disaster - people severely injured but unable to die and in great pain, overpopulation/lack of food, supplies, living space...or other disasters. The end result is that the mystery of what has happened to Death must be solved.
Often Death is captured or imprisoned in some fashion. Sometimes it's more silly, like he's just on holiday.
Could make for an interesting quest to free Death, probably from some Death Cult (meaning to pay tribute to Death, but unknowingly screwing him over), or some Good Cult (naively meaning to prevent Death, which they interpret as Evil). With the Good Cult, they might be taught the errors of their ways and free Death, or they might be fanatics and have to be killed. With the Evil Cult, they probably will be the fanatic route and end up facing a very annoyed Death god.
If the party tries to take advantage of the no-death clause for personal gain, they quickly learn that others, more powerful than them, are going to do the same thing TO them.
