To my knowledge he doesn't actually die. The Grimmchild is him reborn, and will eventually grow to be the new Grimm. If you read the lore entries for each of the flame bearers in the journal, at least, one of the lines is "Burn the Father, Feed the Child", which to me implies that it's supposed to be a grand cycle of death and rebirth, with each new Grimm more powerful than the last after pulling the life and flame from another kingdom.
