Yes, codeine can cause death, particularly when taken in high doses or misused. It is an opioid that can lead to respiratory depression, especially when combined with other depressants like alcohol or benzodiazepines. Overdose can result in life-threatening conditions, including severe respiratory failure. Proper medical supervision and adherence to prescribed dosages are crucial to minimize risks.
