a possible way it can kill you is from a simple blood clot. If the sickle shaped blood cells that formed into clumps stick to the walls of the blood vessels, blood flow will be blocked and the lack of blood circulation can cause a blood clot. If that blood clot so happens to follow the blood stream into your heart... YOU WILL DIE.
