this is actually a very old tradition
some hindu stories have hooks like this- someone is blessed that they cannot die on heaven nor on earth, so someone has to drag them to the border to smash their head open. another was said they cant be killed by man nor beast, so they were killed by someone riding a horse because ‘both’ is okay
