Zeus killed Asclepius because he was snatching the dead heading towards the under world to heal them. Hades complained to zeus that he was being robbed by asclepius and so Zeus threw a lighting bolt toward him and it killed both Asclepius and the patient he was tending. I got this from the book heroes,gods, and monsters of the Greek myths by Bernard evslin. I hope this helped. :)

His healing powers were great enough to cure the most common of all pains and diseases. But he was too strong. he became so strong that he learned to bring people back to life. Zeus ( the king of the gods) was furious, not because Asclepius was bringing people back from the dead, but the fact he was doing it for pure profit.
