Yes a stroke can kill you. A stroke happens when there is a lack of blood flow to the brain. When there is no blood, there is no oxygen and the brain cells start to die, causing a stroke or death of brain tissue. Where in the brain the stroke happens and how long the brain goes without blood can make a difference as to how bad the stroke is.

Do stroke victims get worse?

Not always, although it is possible. A stroke will kill brain cells, which are irreparable. It is possible that, like a cancer, the destruction of brain cells will continue to spread, however in this day and age, most stroke victims will recover fairly well, and further neurological damage will be prevented with medications and treatments. Further strokes are also not uncommon. If it seems as though a stroke victim close to you has suddenly deteriorated, take them to a hospital immediately, as they may have had another stroke.
