He died in one of the story arcs in the comic. There is so many freaking arcs I don't even know there is one canon timeline anymore. Well like ciardha said its not a good comparison with manga characters. Just pointing out the resurrection part of Goku seems similar with American comic characters.
I believe Akira Toriyama is one of the few Japanese manga writers who like American superhero comics, Nobuhiro Watsuki being another- and he made that real obvious in Kenshin- with villains that strongly physically resembled Marvel's Gambit and Hulk.
