Yes necessarily: LA or not, the lich is immune to death attacks and kerunnos' strategy is intrinsically in error.

Secondly, Why bother becoming a Lich when he can throw out an extended Veil of Undeath or Elemental Body? Both of which confer immunity to death and sneak attacks (along with all other benefits of undead type). You know, the spells Kaelik has referenced repeatedly in this discussion.
