When the bowels "die," a condition known as bowel ischemia occurs, where blood supply to the intestines is reduced or cut off, leading to tissue death. This can cause severe abdominal pain, bloating, and can result in the leakage of bacteria into the bloodstream, leading to sepsis and potentially life-threatening complications. Immediate medical intervention is crucial to remove the necrotic tissue and restore bowel function. If left untreated, it can lead to significant morbidity or death.
