No, in Shakespeare's time they did not kill the actors. Mostly they owned the theatres and so had an interest in preserving their lives. Indeed, although animals were occasionally brought on stage, they were not killed either. It was the Romans who invented reality theatre; they sometimes killed criminals on stage as part of their performances.
Of course they frequently pretended to kill people onstage; see the last scene of Titus Andronicus, Hamlet or The Spanish Tragedy.
