A death yell is a euphamism for the following situation, which happens in fiction a lot and sometimes in real life:

When someone dies and another person is so overcome by grief that he must shout the name of the deceased into the air while crying really really hard, that is a "death yell".

In the Star Trek canon, Klingons do perform a "death yell" when one of them dies. Sometimes, they fight over who gets to do it because Klingon funerals can become elaborate rituals.

In the TV series Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon, Act 47, Hino Rei performs a "death yell" after finding out that Aino Minako had died.
