Gefen: It’s a Mefurash Machlokes Rishonim (Tosfos and Rabbeinu Bachya) as to whether someone has Bechirah to kill himself before his time. This is extended to the Bechirah to kill someone else before his time. The majority seems to be like Tosfos that someone has the Bechirah to take someone else’s life before their determined time. In my opinion, there is also a story in a Gemara that is almost explicit like Tosfos.
