Capulet:

Death lies on her like an untimely frost

Death, that hath ta'en her hence to make me wail, Ties up my tongue and will not let me speak.

The night before thy wedding day Hath death lain with thy wife. In all three examples Death is portrayed as a figure or entity that has purposely gone after Juliet and taken her from the mortal world. In the last one Capulet states that Death is her new husband.
