We don't have "death" categories. We do have [[Category:Accidental Deaths]] that you can use and explain the death in the biography.

As I well understand and I can see there are only death categories related with military services. Does it make sence to create category for one person? How many people died of Stage Coach?

Whenever I say to myself "how many can there possibly be" while doing genealogy, I usually find out there are lots, lol!

Think about it in the way of cars. How many people die in auto accidents in a year? Stage Coaches and horses were the cars of the time.

Categories for causes of death have been discussed before, and in general the consensus seems to have been to reject them. See
