That depends on the time and place the slave owner lived in. Slaves in the antebellum South were legally classified as domestic animals, like cows or sheep. So a slave owner was perfectly free to kill a slave that he owned. The only reason to avoid killing them is that slaves, like other domestic animals, were worth money. It would be foolish to buy a slave only to kill him or her. Nonetheless, if a slave master wished to kill a slave, he had every legal right to do so.
Since slaves were considered to be property, their fate was determined by the will of their owner. Sometimes a slave owner would direct that some or all of his slaves would be freed after his death, although that was not the most usual kind of will. In most cases, slaves would be inherited, like all the other property of the deceased slave owner, by the designated heir, usually the children of the slave owner.
