As an expert in the James Bond franchise, I can provide a detailed account of the character M's death. However, it's important to note that M, the head of the British Secret Service, has been portrayed by different actors and has had different fates throughout the series. The most notable death of M occurs in the 2012 film "Skyfall," where the character, played by Judi Dench, dies in the line of duty.

In "Skyfall," M is targeted by the film's antagonist, Raoul Silva, a former MI6 agent seeking revenge. Silva hacks into the MI6 live feed during a hearing where M is being questioned about her competence. He then sends a text message to all of MI6's undercover agents, revealing their identities and locations, which leads to their deaths. M is later confronted by Silva, who is captured and taken into custody.

As the film progresses, Silva escapes and continues his vendetta against M. In a climactic scene at the abandoned MI6 headquarters, M is shot by Silva's henchman, but she survives. Later, while they are in a tube station, M is shot again, this time by Silva himself. She dies from her wounds shortly after, with James Bond by her side.
