The social problems from multiple instances, I can understand. The original being dead however, doesn't make much sense. As far as current science goes, it doesn't even have a physical meaning. All that matters is the result: if there is an instance of you, no one died, period. (Well, not quite "period", actually. If you let one instance run for a while (a second, a minute, a day?), then destroy it, that certainly looks like murder.)
