Wrong! Due to some rule of the universe an event has to occur at lake silencio for time to run smoothly. Due to cunning fakery (the presence of a being which is definitely the doctor, a body which looks like the doctor and the death of said body) everyone assumes this event is the death of the doctor but it is not and never was.
It was always a fakey robot death and a River Song believing it was genuinely the doctor dying that happened at lake silencio but it required the doctor to realise this and get on and do it for time to run properly.
What we originally saw was the death of the teselecta doctor and what caused the time stream to break was the failure of teselecta doctor to show up and die. If the actual doctor had shown up and actually died the effect on time would doubtless have been worse.
