Can KOFR and Character Death apply in the same universe? Example: Bob is a mortal and gets ran over by a car, clearly a case of the latter. Charlie is a demigod and gets run through with a magical spear that removes his immortality.

Yes. Character Death is an Omnipresent Trope; it exists everywhere. In fact, anytime Killed Off for Real is involved, as the supertrope, Character Death by definition applies.

Character Death was identified as a Missing Supertrope and subsequently created as a result of this TRS thread
about Killed Off for Real. Launched 30/03/2013.
Shouldn't this be classified as a Universal Trope rather than an Omnipresent Trope?
After all, there are plenty of works where none of the characters die, there's nothing unusual about that not happening.
