The Fall of Númenor might be considered a pretty substantial alteration in "natural law". We see an island
overturned in response to actions of its inhabitants, and a simultaneous removal from the physical world of an entire "continent" when Valinor was transferred to what amounted to a separate plane of existence or dimension.
Also, there was the exchanging of mortality to the reverse that was apparently done to Tuor, a Man.

I would say the latter, since they already "lived" before having the Fire. Being bereft of it should have left them in the same state as previously.
