Cow's milk shouldn't really be given to kittens. Cats and kittens are lactose intolerant, which means that cannot digest it very well and can cause diarrhea. A kitten with diarrhea will get dehydrated very quickly and if left untreated can become fatal. If you wish to give your kitten some milk, most stores now stock specially formulated cat or kitten milk which has no lactose in and is safe to drink.

If the kitten has runny stool or diarrhea for any length of time, then yes, the kitten could in fact die. A kitten (especially a very young one) with diarrhea can get very dehydrated very quickly and that can easily become fatal. If the kitten is weaned, try feeding it some cooked plain chicken or white fish until the kitten's stools have firmed up. These are very bland foods that are very gentle on an upset stomach. It is highly advisable to get some liquid into your kitten (kitten milk, water with a little broth in or mix water with the food), and to take your cat to the vet.

To live on, no. They need mother's milk or kitten milk substitute from the pet store. As a treat it's fine in small amounts. Too much can give them indigestion. As kittens age they start becoming lactose intolerant, so giving a cat over about the age of four months milk can cause diarrhea. But they still love drinking it.
