Come to an exit

Can the phrase "come to an exit" refer to death?

For example, if someone says that Paul has come to an exit, could Paul be dead?

I suppose you could use it as a creative metaphor but it is not a recognised idiom, no. It would need to be in an explanatory context to make sense of it. If you just said it on its own I wouldn't interpret it in that way.
