Is there a way to force the end of all subprocesses when calling die?

Second. No one can kill process which hangs in syscall till the process
gets out into userspace. So you'd be better finding why you collect.

This is not generally true. Only when the syscall is in an
uninterruptible sleep (also known as "disk wait", although a disk is not
necessarily involved), no signals (not even SIGKILL) are accepted.
