I think it's almost because it makes no sense in real life that it has to make sense in fiction, if that makes any sense. In much the way all of fiction has to make some sort of sense, while none of life does.
At least that's how it works for me, as writer and reader. I know in real life it's different; but in fiction, every character's death needs to somehow be ... a piece that fits into the larger story.
