If I lock you in a room with a radioactive substance and it reduces your life expectancy from 70+ years to just 10 or less, no judge or jury in the world is not going to convict me of murder.

Likewise, the Ancients' views on death seem to have changed substantially after the Final Days. Though, I admit I'm speculating there. But even if that wasn't the case, the moment Venat sundered them, they stopped being the Ancients that even had those views about death.
