The fear of death is an erroneous thought for one cannot fear something that it does not know! One can only fear the prospect of leaving behind everything of the known, which is, in fact, all that the mind is made of. The mind is the known. Therefore, the fear of the unknown is merely a symptom of a deluded perception of existence, one which can only lead to sorrow...for the known is a prison. However, the reality of the unknown cannot possibly be avoided. To push away the unknown is to resist life's very purpose, which is to lead to the infinite.
