That all depends on what she is eating. She won't die if she eats too much hay or grass because she can never eat too much hay or grass. However, she could die if her grass/hay diet was switched suddenly to grain or if she ate too much grain. A sudden switch in diet will upset the pH level in her rumen causing a much higher production of acid than necessary. This is called acidosis, and can kill quickly if the condition isn't caught soon enough. Eating too much grain can also cause her to bloat, which, if not treated with mineral oil or, for severe cases, a trocar to the rumen wall, will cause asphyxiation due to the enlargement of the rumen on the lungs and eventually death.
