you wouldn't die from appendictis itself, well not yet anyway, as appendictis is jsut inflammation of the appendix.
however, if the appendix burst, then you are in deep shiit. if it bursts, it can lead to serious internal infection, and a painful death. how soon? depends, no real answer on how soon, but I assume it's pretty quick, in a matter of hours.

You will die from massive infection once the appendix bursts. Appendicitis is an infection of the appendix, and when it finally bursts, it spews the infection throughout the thorasic cavity (abdominal cavity). The infection will then attack all the other organs such as the liver and kidneys. It is very very hard to recover from this, ussually requiring sugery to clean out the cavity and intense antibiotic treatments.

If left untreated it would take less than seven days. It would rupture, peritonitis would set in, sepsis, multi-system organ failure, then death. Painful death. Hope it never happens to you or anyone you love.

If it gets to the point of rupture you better be real close to a hospital dear.

it could take anywhere from several minutes to several hours depending on the persons immune system. It would be very painful to handle.

how long? not sure but if it were to burst then your in deep trouble it is very poisonous and that left on treated probably wouldn't take long its not advisable that's for sure

From few hours to few days. But it will be a painful death.
