I understand why op asked and was speculating. We know that ‘acher? witnessed someone dying while doing shiluach hakan and kibud av, both of which are promised long life. He then went off the Derech because he wondered ‘if this isn’t true, maybe everything else isn’t true’. I think what op is asking is for justification to believe that Hashem didn’t break his promise to kill someone while that person is doing a mitzvah.
