I think Death's lethal touch is indeed adding the adjective 'gone' to whoever he touches. The adjective 'gone' is capable of making any creature, no matter how strong, simply disappear. Adding adjectives doesn't count as an attack, which explains why Mind Control Devices and other such things don't work. It also fits with the methods of the other four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, who add adjectives to you when spawned - the thing is adding 'gone' to everything when spawned would be too OP, so Death can only do it by touch.
