Well, in dath ilan, people do still die, even though they're routinely cryonically frozen. I suspect with an intelligence explosion death becomes very rare (or horrifically common, like, extinction).

Only a few people die. Once they figure out how to cure death, they'll stop dying. The vast majority of members will exist after that point.
