Does people die from the life support machine?

depends how dead they are when they go in

it can happen but not most likely why

if you're on life support, you're pretty much already dead. They put you on life support because your brain is dead.

Not very often, the are to keep you alive, it's not much of a quality of life

Any surgical procedure carries the risk of infection. A life support machine like a dialyses machine or a heart-lung machine involves intrusion in the body, which can cause infection that could result in death. An Iron Lung, which is almost never used now days, was a life support machine for polio victims. It was just a pressurized container so it didn't carry the risk of infection.
