I think that that depends on whether it's a total party wipe out or a gradual loss and replacement of characters. If PCs die and are replaced gradually then the story you are all telling together simply changes direction to some extent but it doesn’t need to result in the death of a campaign. Continuity can be maintained but depending on what the PCs are doing that can be worked around by the GM.
