The OP's description doesn't seem to imply that refusal to pay causes the death.

I'm rephrasing Lumifers example to a person who doesn't work within the traditionally accepted medical field.

It makes no statement about how the causation works. That means a person who doesn't know how the causation works can not sure that the oracle doesn't cause it in some way.
