the common cold kills people that have other chronic conditions which makes it impossible to fight off the viruses that cause the cold. Usually leading to pnuemonia and then death. But, a normal healthy adult doesn't die from a cold. It will run it's course, usually 14 days, and he'll be done with it.

Technically not from the cold but bronchitis or pneumonia.
My Mother caught a cold on July 30th and was dead August 26th. So yes it is possible. This is generally if your health is already compromised.
Please take care of your friend.

IF your health is very, very fragile and you develop complications from this cold, yes, you could die. The odds of a healthy person dying from a cold, though, are slim to none.

It is not impossible. I was very sick once and boy did I feel close for a time span of a few days.

If it turns into pneumonia there could be a chance.

No. It could turn into many worse things that can kill you dead though.
