It would be unusual for head lice to kill anyone, usually they just cause a lot of itching. However, it is true that typhus, which is a serious disease, can be spread by the bites of lice or fleas. So in theory, yes, lice could prove to be fatal.
In theory if the infestation was large enough and left without treatment, yes. If left untreated the infestation will grow. At this point they'll begin eating more and more and sores will develop. These sores can become infected and lead to sepsis.
