Did you ever read any of the Sanctuary Books, one of the characters in the book is a guy called Tempus, beloved of the storm god Ankha I think.
Man was ancient (unaging) and pretty much indestructable, but those who loved him were cursed to die. At least one scene were after the death of a friend he’s cutting his wrists to see if he can die.
… he doesn’t.
