Sure, he removed the cause of death, and then he tossed death into the lake of fire, along with other ill-favored things, like hell and Satan and the beast.
I don't want to make too much of this. It seems straightforward.
On the other track, regarding your question to Paul about definition of evil, I skimmed my lexicons for Hebrew and Greek and saw that the respective words are used both for moral evil and for just plain calamity, natural illness, and the like. So it is fair (and Biblical) to say a neutral injury is evil and yet not immoral. It's not my point, but a point of information.
