Typically, assuming no structures or organs were directly destroyed, the mortal patient often dies of dehydration and/or burn shock (which invovles oliguria and sepsis). If the patient survives these near-onset disorders, the primary killer is infection. This is not to say all thrid degree burns are fatal -- the question asks only about the mechanism of mortality on those cases that are fatal.
