Yes, a hernia can kill you, but it isn't likely. If a portion of the intestine goes out the hernia, it can become strangulated and that portion can die. That leads to infections, bowel impaction and many other issues.

Yes , if untreated , because an organ will protrude from the opening and become "strangulated" thus cut off from the flow of blood to the organ and then becomes *necrotic ; see related links . * "Death of cells or tissues through injury or disease, especially in a localized area of the body. "
