Been awhile since I have played 3.5 but if my memory serves me then the Barbarian would not die after being dropped to -8 (-18).  The rage is still going on until the end of the duration unless it otherwise states that the rage ends when you are dying or unconscious, so he does not lose those additonal HP, giving he other players the chance to heal the barbarian before he truly dies.  If he is healed them he wakes up still under the effects of the rage (if the duration has not passed by then).  I see no reason to rule the other way unless the rules give any indication at all that the rage ends when unconsious or dying.

And there is no such rule.

Another day, another three or four entries to my Ignore List.
