I'm not sure it's ever been proven that Raiden can/cannot die. It's my belief that Raiden cannot truly die, as he can completely obliterate himself (as seen at the end of Deadly Alliance) and not die. If it is true that he can and Shinnok cannot, however, I'd say maybe perhaps because Shinnok is an Elder God and Raiden isn't.
