Yes, your heart can shut down or die due to a heart attack. In a heart attack, heart muscle dies as a result of lack of oxygen. This tissue death can lead to conduction abnormalities that make the heart work ineffectively or stop working altogether.

What does coronary heart disease do to the body?
Coronary heart disease affects the coronary arteries which supply glucose and oxygen to the heart. Sometimes, the coronary arteries get blocked (because of blood clots or the lumen has become smaller), so less/ no oxygen or glucose can be supplied to the heart. . If the blockage is lower down in the artery, then the symptoms will be milder, because a small area of muscle will suffer oxygen deprivation. This disease can be fatal - as this will cause a heart attack (also known as "myocardial infarction") and the heart will eventually stop beating because the blood supply is completely cut off.
How can heart disease damage your heart?
Heart disease can damage the heart in different ways depending on the disease. In CAD (Coronary Artery Disease), blockages in the lumen of the arteries can cause areas of the coronary muscle to shut down due to lack of oxygenation. If the plaques continue to build up in the heart's blood vessels, more coronary muscle shuts down. Undetected, this could lead to death as the heart does not have the strength to pump blood through the body.

How do you die from a heart attack?
The simple answer is that the heart is unable to supply the body tissues with enough blood to keep them alive. The result is usually you lose consciousness as the brain's oxygen supply falls short of demand. Then, after that, the body systems shut down one after the other. Thew actual cause of death may have been triggered by the heart attack, but the actual process is much more complicated.
