No they do not die, The stinger often breaks off in the wound, which is non-fatal to the stingray, and will be regrown.
You can read up on it more at this web site.
Happy reading!

No,they don't.
The stinger will regrow,but,until it will be not,they are exposed to all the predators,having no other defenses than to hide.
Therefore,they "could" die for the indirect consequences to have lost the stinger.
Instinctively,they "know this" avoiding when possible direct confrontation that could bring them to the lost of their defenses.

No. they are not honey bees. They are probably injured and do not have their normal means of defense. They die after they lose their stinger because we all die.

no, the barb is like a bone,
if it gets broken off, it's just broken off....

If a stingray stung me and it broke off, and didn't kill me.... I'd kill the beotch.
