We report on a new lifetime measurement of the E_x=6792 keV state in 15O via the Doppler-shift attenuation method at the E=259 keV resonance in the reaction 14N(p,g)15O. This subthreshold state is of particular importance for the determination of the ground state astrophysical S factor of 14N(p,g)15O at stellar energies. The measurement technique has been significantly improved compared with previous work. The conclusion of a finite lifetime drawn there cannot be confirmed with the present data. In addition, the lifetime of the two states at E_x=5181 and 6172 keV have been measured with the same technique in order to verify the experimental method. We observe an attenuation factor F(tau)>0.98 for the E_x =6172 and 6792 keV states, respectively, corresponding to tau<0.77 fs. The attenuation factor for the E_x=5181 keV state results in F(tau)=0.78+/-0.02 corresponding to tau=8.4+/-1.0 fs in excellent agreement with literature.
