Usually Cornish Xs are ready to eat by week 8, especially if you let them free-feed. I would not recommend letting the little thing die on it's own, as it's not a pretty way to go. Their blood pressure either ruptures their heart or brain from the stress of trying to support their overly large bodies, or they slowly suffocate themselves to death under their own weight.
This would be a good opportunity to continue your education of your children about respectful animal stewardship. Sometimes it's more responsible to prevent unecessary suffering my managing animals properly and being responsive to their special needs.
