Has someone actually said that's the reason they killed off Garrett or is that just your speculation?
I know it wasn't announced Daredevil rights had reverted back until after filming for the AOS pilot had already began (that announcement was made in about April of 2013, right? and filming on the pilot started a few months before in January). However, given that not all 22 episodes are filmed right off the bat and filming episodes goes well into even after the show starts airing in the fall, I would think that if they had wanted to utilize him for any future MCU Daredevil project, there was plenty of time available (after the 'reverted' announcement) for them to adjust the story line of the back half of season 1 to accommodate (the episode where he first appeared - TAHITI, I believe - was probably filmed around late fall or so 2013) - or even simply just not kill him off in the final episode (that episode wasn't filmed until late March/Early April 2014).
No, no one has said that. Garrett probably died for a number of reasons:
-The season "big bad" dying at the end is a common trope on TV.
-It helps to further Ward's character by removing his only real purpose in life (serving Garrett).
-Bill Paxton probably had other commitments (I know that he was filming a History Channel mini-series recently).
