Which is correct 'They lost their life' or 'They lost their lives'?

"They lost their lives" is usual. The other version sounds odd.
This assumes that "they" here refers to more than one person. The use of "they" is complicated these days by sometimes meaning "he or she". Without the context, it is difficult to be completely sure what is the best way to express an idea.
