Additional info (Razor512):
radioactive particles damage internal structures of cells, while in most cases the cell will just die, but if radiation hits a cell while it is dividing then it will damage the genetic info in the cell and you can either end up with a non functioning cell which dies, or a cancer cell that does the wrong thing and makes you very sick.
If you look at cases such as the Chernobyl disaster, you will see cases of people having their skin fall off due to the damage caused by radioactive particles.
radiation destroys pretty much any type of biological cell and enough of it will dissolve skin and bone (and a high enough output can even eat away at metal).

Can plasma radiation kill someone?
YES!
How would radiation kill us?
Radiation damages the cells in your body, which affects organ function.
Can infrared radiation kill you?
Yes. At a high enough intensity any form of radiation can be deadly. All forms of electromagnetic radiation carry energy, which can heat objects. Intense enough infrared radiation can essentially broil you.
How does nuclear power kill you?
Nuclear power itself does not kill you unless there is a steam explosion like at Chernobyl. It is the radiation either from fission products or direct neutron bombardment which will do that, and the effects of excessive radiation are well known and documented.
How fast will nuclear radiation kill you?
If it is a massive dose, within two weeks. Smaller doses can cause cancer which could take years to kill you. So there is no one answer.
Can death rays exist?
It depends... Radiation can kill a man easily, but to form a hand held "ray" that emits enough radiation to kill? No.
Will you die in radiation?
Yes, an overdosage of Radiation can kill you.
Good things about radiation?
Chemo radiation kill cancer cells.
