A blocked artery can lead to death but it rather depends on where the blockage is and if it is only partial or complete. For example if in the brain it can cause a stroke but that doesn't necessarily mean death for the individual. If the blockage is in the heart it will result in a heart attack however, the individual may not die.
Partially blocked artery may cause improper function of the tissues. Partial blockages have a high chance of resulting in complete blockage. When the artery is completely blocked it generally means death for any tissue located after the blockage.
For Example:
If there is an infarction in the thigh it will cause necrosis in that area.
