Death of measles is quite rare, and does not happen to many people. It is just a worse symptom than the chicken pox and you would only die from it if you had a disease such aids or something as strong as that. If you are worried, and the spots do not go away, consult your local doctor.
Many patients (about 5-15%) develop other complications.
In 2007, there were 197 000 measles deaths globally - nearly 540 deaths every day or 22 deaths every hour. http://www.who.int/mediacentre/factsheets/fs286/en/
Deaths directly caused by the measles vaccine are extremely rare in the US, with estimates ranging from 0 to 1 per year. The benefits of vaccination in preventing measles and its complications far outweigh the risks of adverse effects from the vaccine.

Measles is a very infectious illness caused by a virus - a viral infection caused by the rubeola virus. It is an endemic disease; meaning it is continually present in a community and many people develop resistance. If measles enters an area where the people have never been exposed the result can be devastating.
