You would have to find an interview with the creators to find out why. However I can think of three different reasons.

1 - "Mmm drugs are bad, don't do drugs". The lesson being shilled is due to special interest groups or rather avoiding the wrath of them so towing the morally-mandated "correct" line.

2 - "Have your cake and eat it too". The creators want to be compelling but do not want to encourage violent behaviors

3 - "Take that standards and practices". In an interview with the creators of Batman The Animated Series/Superman The Animated Series/ Justice League/ Justice League: Unlimited, the creators said that Warner Brothers tried to force them to comply with a famliy friendly atmosphere.

"Hey you can't have Joker shot with a gun.",

"Okay, then we will electrocute him in blood-curdling detail in front of a child."

WB quickly learned to not try to sensor the creators unless absolutely necessary since they would just find creative ways to make even more disturbing scenarios than simple deaths.
