As someone that once lived without running water for just 5 days because the electric pump to my apartment was broken I can say pretty confidently that that minor experience was enough to make it clear to me, most of us can't survive without "modern life".
If there's no electricity there's no running water. That means no more flushing toilets. No more water to drink. If there's no electricity that means no more gas pumps so no trucks to deliver food. No refrigeration to store the food. It also means no communication to coordinate anything.
I'm sure I'm only covering the tip of the iceberg. A large percentage of the planet would die from an event like this.
