Actually, “mata” means “mother”. Mrityu means death, alternate forms are “martya” and other grammatical forms. The English words like “mortal” and “mortuary” derive from the Sanskrit word for death.
Kali Mata means “Mother Kali”. Kali is often depicted with a necklace of skulls because her job is killing demons, in service of the Supreme God. She herself is a servant of God, but those who worship her - especially crazy people like the man in the story - are condemnd by God Himself and Kali.
