You have to remember that each race views it differently and it would seem to me that this version that used by UESP and The Imperial Library is from Altmer point of view, where Lorkhan is a trickster that had to be killed. They probably also mention the views of men and other mers on Lorkhan/Shor. No, this is both the Man and Mer views.

The religions of both Men and Mer state Lokrhan got the Aedra togeather, made Mundus, and then died.

The Mer believe he was killed as punishment for tricking the Aedra, and Men believe he died so that Mundus could exist without the direct presence of the divines, and to show them how to not fail as finding ascension.

Him being a trickster or not, or why his heart was remove,d changes nothing about if he gave part of himself to creation or not, which he didn't. This is the same in both religions.
