ah but death is not an event, it is comprised of many molecular changes/events. still you have a good point, and i'm sure if we got down to it we could find many events in a molecule of skin blowing away as well. i guess in a way these "bigger" things are triggered once some kind of threshold is reached, for example enough tissue dies in your heart and it stops beating. or enough blood drains out of you that your blood pressure can no longer be sustained at all and then it stops and then your brain stops getting oxygen since it is not getting blood and your brain eventually dies after a few minutes.
