Does it?

A young child near where I live died from the bite of a brown recluse; but it took him a little while. He became very ill and his systems failed because of a reaction to the bite. Sometimes a person can have a rare reaction to the bite that causes him to develop the characteristic necrosis if he get any kind of skin abrasion thereafter. Most of the time, however, prompt treatment with antibiotics can fix the bite of a brown recluse. If you notice a bite with a sort of bruiselike circle surrounding it that does not heal or go away in a short time, this is likely a recluse bite and should be treated ASAP. If too much skin is killed, one might require grafting.

People do not usually die from a recluse bite unless they allow an infection to develop that is so severe that they succumb. Usually, if treated soon enough, a recluse bite will become little more than a pimple before it heals. If more time passes, more tissue damage is done by the venom of the spider. It actually causes your skin to break down as it would an insects body so that the spider can drink it. Most treatments include antibiotics for the infection or prevention of one, and a topical cream designed to neutralize the venom and heal the bite.

Nope. I was bitten by a brown recluse spider about 10 years ago.
The bite needs proper care; but you'll live.

No. Brown Recluse bites are nasty and very dangerous, but not instantly deadly, matter of fact usually not deadly at all unless secondary infection.

No, it does not meen instant death.
if bitten by this spider, you could die, but only if you ignored the wound completely, but by the time the toxins start eating away the flesh, most people go to the hospital
