Depends how much you drink. Too much could kill you because of sodium overdose, but it shouldn't kill you normally.
===============================
Answer #2:
If that were true, then ships at sea wouldn't need to carry a lot of drinking water. They'd only need a little of it, to sweeten up the sea water all around them for drinking.
Fact is, sea water is a deadly drink over a relatively short period of time, and "sodium overdose" has nothing to do with it.
Your body chemistry is set up so that your cells absorb fresh water. A significant salt content in the water reverses this "osmotic" pressure, and the flow is in the opposite direction. Just as a salt rub draws moisture out of a chicken or a steak, salt water draws water OUT of your body's cells. The more sea water you drink, the MORE dehydrated you become, and you don't last long.

What happens when water is dead?
Water can't "die." It was never living in the first place. The Dead Sea got it's name from the fact that it has so much salt in it, that no creature can survive in it or thrive from it.

I think that if people drink the water from the Dead Sea, they supposedly get extremely ill, like sodium poisoning or something.
