A lot of people tend to complicate his last words, "Which is worse, to live as a Monster....or to die as a Good Man."
I personally think the best way to understand it is that by living as a monster, he would continue to live his life with understanding

To die as a good man refers to his ultimate decision of being lobotomized and turned into a "mindless" person. It doesn't actually mean that they're going to kill him, but life as he knows it
Clearly, DiCaprio chose the latter and decided that the guilt of his new reality was too much to handle and chose to be lobotomized so he would lose all characteristics of a human being (memory, thought, etc.)
I am tottaly agree with you and his last sentence is the key ! iam french and i cannot translate but leonardo at the end of the movie prefers to die than to live knowing that it's because of him that his childrens are dead
BUT!
Together, they became an eternal recollection in people's mind about arts.
Dicaprio not really murdered their kidz but he knows that his wife has big problem and he does anything to help her thta's why he feels responsible of their death....indirecly but in a way it was his fault ... i think it is the people think ;)
