it's a lot more complex than just having sun in the 8th... a lot of people have sun in the 8th but don't die early 
I think you have to look at things like...
-mars- if it is afflicted or not
-ruler of the 8th (sign/ if planet is afflicted)
-any planets in the 8th house ( the ones closest to the cusp have the most relevance)
-sun - represents general well being
-ascendant- is more physical health
- also the 6th house could have some bearing
+ many more things!
So not all people with sun in the 8th house are doomed. It is important to look at the chart as a whole and not one isolated planet/ placement
and the 8th house can represent things like finances, inheritances, transformations etc

First of all, from the specific information you have given, an early death is NOT indicated.
Secondly, determination of approximate longevity trends is possible using various astrological methods; however, it is a quite involved and complex matter-it is an advanced technical procedure, and should actually be left to the small number of practitioners (mostly Vedic) who have significant experience in this specialty field (longevity determination)

Unfortunately, there is no set formula or signature for marriage or childbirth, although others may disagree, apparently horary and vedic seem confident in this area. There are indicators and potential as there would be with natal, solar return chart but guarantees -- (post 2 & 3 below)

Your chart is a blueprint of your personality, facets and penchants and the whole chart is 'potential' for development. There is nothing guaranteed or fatalistic in charts, I do believe we still do have free will. I also believe we chose our parents and childhood circumstances best suited to learning those Lessons in the best way we can.
I think it's worth bearing in mind that the natal chart, like solar returns is all about 'potential' but as we all know we don't always fulfil that potential do we.
It's like someone saying you can predict death, but with modern medicine and sciences the way they are and the potential to 'die' three times in a life, doesn't mean to say you will does it
I think lots of people have unrealistic expectations about what astrology can and can't do. astrology is an 'art, science and craft' and not clairvoyance either. If there were a formula or signature, don't you think we would ALL be using it?

Yes I did take those positions into account-No (in my opinion) you are not doomed to an early demise!!
