It really left it up in the air. I will say that I do pity Ardyn probably as much as I felt for Noctis. Both got crappy ends of a bad deal.
Why should they have died from it - they were back outside with him after Noctis defeated Ardyn, right before he went back to the throne to call the other kings. This is not left up in the air or open for interpretation or anything.
