My friend was diagnosed with MS. Do you die from multiple sclerosis?

Multiple Sclerosis is rarely fatal. Complication may be present from the severe form of MS. The life expectancy is generally 5 to 15 years lower than the general population and the gap continues to get smaller all the time. Thank you.
Only if it worsens significantly. Dying from MS is not very common these days as we have many good treatments for it.
Not typically. Most patients die from related complications - pneumonia or other infections, for instance.
