just like the disease it depends person to person. i know of a man who died of an infection in his prostate. he had abssesses and they removed them...well the infection in the abssess got into his blood and spread all over his body and the bacteria ate him from the inside out. im serious and it wasnt gangreen. another girl i know got west nile virus. she already wasnt doing to well. she got the virus and a year later passed away, she never recovered from the virus. others lungs just deteriorate and they just stop breathing.
the thing is when your lungs fail other organs start to follow suit so its hard to tell if it was the lungs or other organs that actually caused death. when your lungs start to fail your heart works double time and stresses, and if you are lacking O2 that adds to the stress. then all the medications over time can atribute to kidney and liver failure. but i believe most die from lung and heart failure. they go hand in hand
