No, not usually. If a normally healthy person gets a boil from a staphylococcal bug that is not resistant to antibiotics, it will clear up without too much trouble. This is the most common sort of boil people get.
Boils may indeed be deadly in people who are immunocompromised (they have a low immune system because of something like chemotherapy, AIDS, post organ transplant).
Or the boils may be caused by a germ that does not respond to antibiotics - usually a hospital acquired infection - and they may be very bad news for someone who is already weak and ill.
Or there is Bubonic Plague, which is deadly. The victim gets "buboes" which look like boils. It has almost completely died out now. In other words, there are less than 10 reported cases worldwide per year. Various governments keep some of the causative organism in laboratories for study purposes.
But generally speaking, boils are painful but not deadly.
