They're not really killing him. Yes Jaga says he's dead but it's not like it's permanent. It's more like an enforced meditation, a journey to the center of the mind where Lion-O must confront and overcome his internal conflicts before he can truly focus on the external ones. Since he's not the type to stop and do it himself yet he has to be forced to. The Trials aren't just about him being worthy to return to life, it's about forcing him to grow up.

Think of it like a comic book or even anime, main characters die all the time and come back.
