I just assumed that was because he wanted to die because he had no purpose in life? He went to Aussie to reform the band with his brother. But the brother had cleaned up his life and had a family. Therefore no band = no point of living
Perhaps it's the universe course correcting, or perhaps Charlie was experiencing something akin to what Jack was, some sort of awareness of what was happening. Considering in S3, Charlie was actually supposed to die, it would be a poor bit or writing in my opinion if Charlie just didn't want to live.
EDIT: It was also yet another instance of Charlie narrowly avoiding death.
And on Des. If he never met Penny, he may never have joined the military, wouldn't have gone on the boat race and therefore wouldn't have bumped into Jack. Essentially everything we know about Des bar the monestary and ditching his ex has probably been altered.
