What is the ironic in Albert Camus' death?

I have read the myth of Sisyphus and The Stranger and I feel like I have a general overview of Albert Camus and absurdism. Yet I feel like i missed this big point. If I remember correctly Albert Camus was going to take the train but changed his opinion and took his car instead. I have numerous ideas to how this could be "ironic". Such as our choices generally being meaningless so it doesn't matter if you a or b, but in the case of Camus it wasn't a meaningless choice. Or perhaps it has something to do with the inevitable death that the absurd man must await. I feel like I am missing something. Would be nice if someone definitively explained how it is ironic.

It just shows how absurd life is. Had he taken his first option (caught the train) that day he would have possibly lived. Yet he decided to catch a lift with his friend, and that’s what resulted in his death

It shows that there is no inherent meaning in life. It was a random decision which resulted in his death. It wasn’t something he could control, it was just incredibly unlucky. It shows the complete meaningless of life - which was his entire philosophy.

Edit: it’s more so an example of the meaningless of LIFE and the freak occurrences of life, than Camus’ decision. One could do ‘all the right things’ in life - and still be met with tragedy. 

You’d expect/hope the world to have some sense of justice, but the world doesn’t work like that. This is the absurd.
