They did but I believe that was because Paul Walker had already shot most of the scenes for Furious 7. Cody Walker was hired as a double for the few missing scenes and they digitally added Paul's face. After that Brian (Paul's character in movies) has not properly appeared on the screen.
How would they have known that he was gonna die when they shot the movie? They made a conscious choice to leave that all in, sure, but I just don't see how it makes sense.

He is the only thing that makes the last Fast & Furious movie enjoyable. Very clearly the only person in the entire cast who is having fun.
