Should Robert/Rene have died?

We're all going to die at some point but I agree with this.
So by that logic we should use spoiler tags for every post we make.
Dammit. I should have seen that.
-Robert and Rene killed in a totally preventable fire.
-Marie inherits the house and vineyard.
Clearly frustrated with her husband constantly tracking mud into the house, she went mad and decided to remove the problem. When her plan was discovered by her son, well, he had to go too.
...it's murder most foul I tells ya.
Sounds like a case for DIXON HILL.
There's a LOT of possible automation that COULD be done with the technology we had seen on TOS/TNG. In this case, it seems like monitoring systems would ALWAYS be looking for dangerous situations that can be sensed for - fire, flood, heck, even someone pointing a weapon at someone else - and there would be predetermined actions to take for that that wouldn't even require sapient intervention. In the case of a fire above a certain size or that has been detected as catching an unintended structure ablaze, seems like something along the lines of using transporters to remove living creatures while activating local fire suppression systems such as sprinklers and force fields (where available - might not have been at Robert's place), and then followed by using the transporters to remove oxygen and/or add fire suppression materials (water, foam, whatever) at the fire's location.
Or simply beamed them out?
Was Robert cooking a 24th-century version of Meth that interfered with transporters?
BUT - we've also seen previously that it seems like something will have happened between now and the 23rd century that will have made humanity reluctant to allow their computers to have too much self-awareness or control over things. So perhaps this is just another example of that?
Seems SUPER dumb - especially since there are plenty of contrary examples, the biggest being the fact that they let Data remain intact, much less serve in a position of authority on a starship. But okay.
Nope he was arrested for blatantly machine-gunning 2 innocent cyborgs who were just out looking for a good time.
This calls for Sherlock Holmes...specifically 1976 "7 Percent Solution" Sherlock Holmes. Possibly with Mary Watson.
Sojourner mentioned this to you once before. Perhaps the issue is more with you if people repeatedly don't get your "dry" humor.
Given that the general viewing audience wouldn't know who Robert and Rene were, TPTB could have gone anywhere in the Picard family to present Picard with a close family loss. Invent a couple of new names, and then kill them.
Having Rene being the only Picard of his generation (to carry on the family name), it just seemed odd. When eventually Jean-luc and Robert died, Rene would be the only Picard?

I thought that Jean-Luc was going to retire to the Ba'ku planet, and not die?
Yeah. He has this strange fascination for older women, like Anij.
