I'm cherry picking a stat from this article, but it doesn't appear totally out of the realm of possibility to die from Crohns. It is well accepted that Crohn's disease is associated with a small but real risk of death. Population based reports from Sweden,1,2 Denmark,3 and Italy4 indicate that Crohn's disease patients have a higher mortality rate than expected, although at least one notable exception from the UK demonstrated survival similar to the general population (table 1 1). https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/labs/pmc/articles/PMC1856159/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/labs/pmc/articles/PMC1856159/
