Not from the fall no, it might get munched by a bird on the way down though :)
An ant would reach its terminal velocity from just a few feet I would expect, so if dropped from 30 feet or 30,000 feet would make no difference to the final velocity of impact - a few metres per second at the most - air resistance being the limiting factor.
At the risk of being a smart****, some ants have wings and can fly too :)

possible yes and no. if the ant is old he would die, lol if the ant is young he would survive. seriously speaking depends on the air altitude, and how ants could take the thousand height. ants can climb, crowl a thousand height, they surely can survive if dropped a thousand feet, but make sure nobody will pinch or stump the ant if ever they reach the ground.

No. Ants, having very little mass, reach their terminal velocity very quickly: an ant dropped from two metres will hit the ground as fast as one dropped from a few thousand metres.
As well as that, ants - like most small creatures - are very resilient.

The ant would not die because it has no killing factors and now if the ant drops and something crushes after hitting ground then it will definitely die.

The falling ant will never attain it's terminal velocity due to the upward thrust of air pressure... so unless it falls into fire it will not DIE....

Yes it will! It's like any human beings, it'll go into shock then upon impact it'll die.

No. These things don't die.
