Yes, indeed a person can die from this. But than again, it is highly unlikely a person will lose enough CSF to die, it usually patches off and stops draining. Now the CSF can cause pressure in the brain and it can cause death. That's the only way I know of that has to do with csf and dying
So more so, it can lead to death. But it don't necessarily cause death itself.
The central canal of the spinal cord is located in the gray commissure and contains cerebrospinal fluid. It is continuous with the ventricular system of the brain, allowing for the circulation and exchange of cerebrospinal fluid between the brain and spinal cord.
Cerebrospinal fluid is extracted from the subarachnoid space in the brain and spinal cord through a procedure called a lumbar puncture, also known as a spinal tap.
The cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) acts as a cushion for the central nervous system (CNS), providing a protective layer around the brain and spinal cord. In addition, the meninges, which are the protective membranes that surround the brain and spinal cord, also help to cushion and protect the CNS from injury and infection.

A lumbar tap, also known as a lumbar puncture, removes cerebrospinal fluid from the spinal canal.
yes
It usually means whomever was performing the lumbar puncture or "spinal tap" missed the sub-dural space where the spinal fluid is located. It may also be that the patient was dehydrated or was leaking CSF (cerebral-spinal fluid) thus making it very difficult to obtain a sample.
Spinal fluid leaks can be caused by punctures or disease in the spinal cord.
This is assuming post-op spinal surgery, following a lumbar puncture, or severe back,head trauma... Headache when sitting up that goes away when lying down, obvious leakage of spinal fluid at the surgical/trauma site... In facial/head trauma a runny nose of clear fluid. Usually goes away after several days of bed rest.
The better question is what is leaking transmission fluid?
Normal spinal fluid pressure is 12
What would happen if your spinal fluid was impinged
Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF)
cerebral spinal fluid cushions, protects and nourishes the brain and spinal cord.
Cerebral spinal fluid
spinal fluid
Probably your radiator fluid leaking out.
