God created everything good and perfect, so we should not directly attribute death to God as a created reality, but as a privation of some good (namely, life), as punishment upon Adam and Eve and all offspring. In other words, if Adam had not sinned (a mortal personal sin for him but the Original Sin for all of us), there never would have been the absense of life, which is death. And God did give them a second chance, because he did not immediately condemn them to hell, which they deserved. It is likely that Adam and Eve are among the saints of Heaven, having worked through their punishment on Earth
