I do believe that Gollum would be doomed, for without the ring, he would have wasted away. He would probably either have killed himself or gotten killed or just died.
Gollum did have to die for the story because no being, except maybe Tom Bombadil, would have had the strength to actually destroy the ring. Frodo did not have the strength, so, Gollum falling over was the best solution I guess. I agree with his choice, and Gollum could not have lived without the existence of the ring, he was dependent on it for so long!
