What about when Hellhounds came after them. Reapers aren't around as they are the victims personal Hell reaper. I would say that any natural death like just being killed and having nothing related to the soul doesn't prevent a reaper from tracking the soul down. I mean, like Castiel said Souls can have marks of them like ownership. As Balthazar did make a claim on a soul in season 6. So if a Shinigami is targetting a human, that maybe as they a being that can deal with souls, they leave that soul alone. Until, the Shinigami releases it.
