It depends on many factors like if the person receives prompt medical care after a sting and such and also on the species of jellyfish.
The irukundji, related to the box jellyfish, can be found off the coasts of Northern Australia. In early 2002, the irkundji became infamous after killing a 58 year old British tourist who died a few days after being stung. Although probably the most venamous, other jelly fish kill people as well. From 1883 to late 2005, the box jellyfish has caused at least 70 recorded deaths, according to about.com.

Will people get stung by a dead jellyfish that was washed up on the beach?
Idk XD probably not... the stingers DIE when the jelly DIES ^this person is seriously wrong. Stingers still contain poison well after death of the jellyfish. The stingers contain cells called nematocysts which can fire off toxins and sting whatever touches them even after death or separation from the actual jellyfish. Some jellyfish are extremely toxic and a single sting can kill you. As for the person who answered before me, why even bother answering if you don't know and are DEFINITELY wrong?
