I guess that they could. An additional answer If they were to stop eating entirely, yes. If they were to starve themselves but still ate a little bit then no, they might be able to survive on their fat stores. An additional answer It depends on the state of their health and their nutritional status at the onset of fasting. In any event, fasting is not the way to lose excess body fat AND keep it off.

A fat person who starves to death will lose all their weight before they die. There are exceptions though, as in the case where a person is malnourished, but still overweight. It is possible to be severely nutritionally deficient, yet still overweight.

Yes, you can if you're not careful. Talk to your doctor on how to lose weight before you go on a diet to be extra safe.
