Can you die if your hernia bursts?
If you have an estrangulated hernia (meaning the tissue is dying because the blood flow has been compromised), then yes, you can become toxic and ultimately die from it. A hernia generally doesn't rupture. A hernia is a portion of intestine that has come through the abdominal lining/muscles. Some people can "pop" theirs back in, some can't.
