"no, it must of died of old age"

Ignore above response as actually yes, a dog can die from flea infestation. Pets can contract the following from flea bites: Tapeworm, Dipetalonema reconditum, anemia, flea allergy dermatitis, plague, Haemobartonellosis, and Tularemia. All of which can potentially lead to death if left untreated.
