Ban all dangerous sports and pastimes! They deserved it .
I remember a thread relating to a star who died while driving very fast and furious... there were no such slurs in relation to that iirc.

Would people say things like, "they deserved it" and "they deserved to be eliminated via natural selection" if it was a friend or relative?

People take risks even if its just going over the speed limit.
A few years ago a climbing friend of mine was killed in an avalanche up in the Haute Alps. She'd successfully recovered from breast cancer but had lost a lot of muscle under one arm but that didn't stop her climbing high grades. She just had the buzz and nothing was going to stop her. She and two others were killed skiing off-piste in an area known for avalanches and where people were warned not to go. She lived for taking risks and she died taking that risk. People who don't know her may say she deserved it; I say, she deserved to make that decision and if she could talk from her grave, she'd be telling us that she takes full responsibility for what happened to her.
