Because right now, we don't know that he "totally got killed" due to his status as a Royal Guard. For all we know, next chapter his head will start floating around and he'll reveal that all his major organs are in his beard. We update someone as being dead once it is clear to all that they are dead, not just one or two people who think so. I'd ask you to not be so smarmy when asking these sorts of questions.
