I'm sorry for making such a stupid request but... natives, I'm counting on you!
So is it okay to say "Those were not your actions that lead him to his death"? Is it grammatically correct? Does it even make any sense? If not, help me please. Thank you.

Almost.

"Were those not your actions that lead to his death?"

"Your actions lead to his death, did they not?"

Leading him to his death isn't apt or good usage. Leading him to his car, or to his house, makes more sense. But actions lead to something.

I don't know what this anon is talking about; leading someone to their death is absolutely something that makes sense, and is a common turn of phrase.

As for the suggested alterations, I don't think the statement is meant to be a question (note that the question mark is outside of the quotation marks).

The only thing that I see somewhat off about the sentence is the use of the definite article "those". It would flow better to use the word "it" - "It was not your actions that led to his death.", or "Your actions did not lead to his death." to be even more succinct.

Oh yeah - the past tense of "lead" is "led".
