If your players end up in a stuation where they all die, for the same reason and in the same place (EG a drowning trap they fail to escape, poison gas, or a large explosion), then cut the campaign off right there (don't even narrate their deaths), and say that next week you'd lke to run a oneshot whilst you work out how best to keep the campaign going.
Then, next week, they all have new characters, and you take them down a similar route to the end of the campain, but everything is overgrown. When they get to the drowning trap, have a wall missing (so they don't drown again) and the corpses of their characters dead on the floor, with all their magical items to be looted. It's 10 years since then, the main plot of the campaign is over, and now they are in a world which is dealing with the consequences of their failure.
Ths is how the campaign keeps going - a new set of adventurers, on a new adventure, and all the players being shocked o find that their characters did in fact die last session!
