Both abilities do something important at the point of normal death which circumvent death from happening, without the ability this special effect doesn't happen which allows them to die like anyone else.

This is why sometimes Extra Life is useful, although someone with Extra Life (Mana Dependant, -10%) who dies in an ordinary no-mana zone would be out of luck. Dragging their corpse out of that area should in theory restore them back to life however.

Ultimately though, this is what the GM is for, making an interpretation of the rules when there's no clear answer. So it comes down to what they decide happens where - so try to bribe them with snack food till they see things your way.
