   MacBeth is lamenting the passing of his wife and means that she should have died at some other time--not at the moment and definitely NOT by suicide. It is implied that she should have died of old age somewhere ages hence, but since she was a part of the heinous deed, she probably would have been executed or at the very least tortured or imprisoned.
