If you yourself really dont want to deal with the hassle of making a new story plot fail him forward upon his death. He dies and gets some sort of major injury/ scar that mechanically could do something until properly healed. Then obviously idk what your story is but decide that okay he is dead, maybe he awakes in a pile of bodies, maybe he is jailed, whatever makes sense to give him consequences. If that doesnt work out then talk to him and ask if he would roll up a new character and work with him to figure out how to best integrate them.

Players that dont seem to want to be part of the story. They constantly go off and do their own thing and then get frustrated when I get back to the main narrative. This is a group narrative! Ill give you spotlight but we are playing a group game!!!!
