Very probably not. It depends on how sick you get and if you have any underlying illnesses, especially those that affect the lungs (like Asthma) and diseases of the immune system. The most common deaths are in the age groups of those 5 and under (due to their immature immune systems and difficulty remaining hydrated when fighting infections), and those 30 to 50 years old with chronic underlying diseases like Diabetes or disorders of the lungs or cardiovascular system.
In all, the odds of anyone dying from it are very low. See the related question about the percentage of people who die from swine flu.
