The thief clearly didn't want to die. But the riddle is worded awkwardly. The king doesn't just ask the thief, the king declares that he will allow the thief to choose how he will die. The thief most likely answered "of old age." Of course, the king could have just thrown the thief in prison for the rest of his life but apparently this king is kind of stupid.
