Terminating threads without properly unwinding the stack is
generally a very bad idea. Most importantly the destructors of
stucts on the stack won't run which can cause problems like
locks not being released.
This isn't specific to D either. For example Raymond Chen
writes about the TerminateThread function in Windows here:

You should signal the thread somehow that it's time to stop
working
isDaemon: A daemon thread is automatically terminated when all
non-daemon threads have terminated.
