In what language is "vol" = "full"? In French, vol = flight or vol = 
theft (once again, I get a chance to tell the story of the French 
nobleman who commented on Napoleon's confiscation of noble's 
estates: "C'est le premier vol de l'aigle": it is the first 
(flight/theft) of the eagle). This gives us the possibilities:

Flight from Death (he is striving for immortality)

Flight of Death (and where he lands, he kills someone)

Theft from Death (he is stealing immortality/life from death)

Theft of Death (by killing all those people, he is stealing Death's 
privilege of ending their lives at the appointed time)
