The oil spill was due to a well blow out. Obviously, people died when the rig caught fire, so well blow-outs can be deadly to rig workers. Now, an oil spill on the ocean is generally avoided by the public, so it is more harmful to marine life than humans. Large oil and gasoline spills can ignite under the right conditions, so yes, one can die from being in an area where there is an oil spill. A blown out well can also give off hydrogen sulfide, which can be deadly within close proximity to the well.
