It's not like there is a rule that says "You have to see a closed one die to unlock silver eyes". It's related to strong emotions, like wanting to protect closed ones, exacty like she did with Blake in the well. Literally any life and death situation could have triggered them all the same.

It's obvious that with the information we have now, it only looks like they've killed her to broadcast to everyone "look, our show can be dark and gritty as well". But the way they did it showed how much they didn't cared about their own character to actually make her do something useful, like taking Cinder with her. Hell, literally taking a hit for Jaune would be the definition of death with meaning.

But of course, as I said before, it makes perfect sense if she is not actually dead. They can't give her a perfect death only to ruin it later since it's not good writing. But a meaningless death fits with that plot line.
