Depends where the ulcer is - if it's somewhere along your digestive tract (i.e oesophagus downwards), then possibly, either due to infection or blood loss. However "death" is still an unlikely outcome, if the ulcer is known about and being treated. If it's a mouth ulcer, you're very unlikely to die from it if you're otherwise healthy.

When the acid that digests food breaks through the stomach, it can burn through veins, and many other things. Stomach ulcers come from the food you eat, so you must eat certain types of foods. If you do not get medical attention as soon as possible, you will probably bleed to death. Here is a website with information about what food you should eat to prevent stomach ulcers.

a stomach ulcer can be deadly, if not treated on time, but if you treat it at the appropiate time, then you should be fine
