20 million kids die worldwide every year due to obesity
I can't really answer how many have survived however, the world Health Organization (WHO) states that child obesity is completely preventable, so all children can survive obesity with the right approach to their diet.Did you know that more people world wide die from overweight (obesity) than from underweight (malnourished) - WHO statistics.

Hardly anyone dies of obesity. They die of congestive heart failure, or of blood diseases, or of diabetes. However, obesity makes all these other diseases far worse.

Left untreated, child obesity leads to adult obesity. Obesity in adults is responsible for premature death or disability in many people world wide (Fact - More people die world wide from being over weight than underweight - World Health organization stats). Child obesity is completely preventable, and if nothing is done to correct diets as a child, our children are being set up for health problems in their adult lives.

percentage of people that die from obesity each year
Yes. Usually in the form of heart disease or stroke.
It is probably not obesity itself that would end your life, but one of the many other conditions that would be caused by or made worse by obesity and the great stress that it puts on the body over time. Even though obese people have a high risk on developing such conditions, they have a higher chance on surviving it. It's called the obesity paradox.
