Oxygen masks - as used by divers, fighter pilots and sometimes hospital patients - always offer a mix of oxygen and nitrogen so that oxygen poisoning cannot occur. However, if you were to put on a mask that makes you inhale only pure oxygen, it would after a little while start to poison your central nervous system. As to 'why your friend died': I have no idea.
