FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU are you kidding me? He was a decently leveled Orge and he died instantly? I had no time to react. Why is this a thing?
First thing that comes to mind is that there were enemies nearby. Since you couldn't see them, probably invisible. Did you have any quests active? Sometimes they can spawn an enemy with invisibility as the target, and if it moved your ogre to a nearby tile they could have likely killed him.

He wouldn't be at full health anymore because of the lava and relocation, as they would both damage him. After that any one of several temple units would have the capability to finish him off. And a few of them have innate invisibility.What can kill a full health ogre in one turn?

I'm not saying this is what happened, it's just a possibility. It could have also been a glitch, that made him disappear instead of moving. Did he have any artifacts equipped? If he did, then they should be laying on the ground nearby if he actually died. If they were not there, it was likely a glitch that made him disappear.
What's on the other side of that portal?
Anything can and will travel through a portal once a Great Mage has activated it. That portal has been activated, because it is glowing. The Ogre had around 42 hit points and with no gear and I presume relatively low level, its resistances are not good, so it isn't very hard to kill; a couple of Mosquitoes might do it. Possible explanation: something came through the portal and attacked him, then another Great Mage at war with you finished both the Ogre and the monster off with an AoE. This could also happen with a Mage not at war with you, but you would have gotten a popup saying to be careful with spells. I also like Shidan's theory that he died on the other plane.
I don't think it could have been another Great Mage, as he hadn't been through the portal yet. Which would mean he likely had not met anybody else yet.
Also I tested raising a volcano under a unit next to a portal, and it refused to put him on it. It would just relocate a few tiles away instead.
@wetblowdryer Probably should have asked this sooner but, what mods (if any) did you have active? It's entirely possible something from one of them could be responsible.
