Not sure that's true. I think the degree to which bonded Jedi can be killed by the other's death is affected by the strength of the bond. In this case, AlanT and EaglesFan were bonded such that the death was assured.
That doesn't mean every Force-bonded Jedi would die if their "partner" were lost.
It might also have to do with the violence of the death. Murder, as with the Sith here, might prove a fatal shock, where falling asleep in the tub and drowning wouldn't necessarily kill the other half of the bond.
