If you say" 2 people died and got injured" it would mean that two people were injured and two people died. A better way to say that would be"two people died from their injuries"

It shows that 2 people had been injured before they died its nonsense it should be..
"2 people got injured and died"

It is a badly worded sentence.
It actually implies that 2 people died, and then those same two people got injured

The sentence is not clear this way, and should not be used. You would not say this.
Maybe if it was a larger number, you would say "78 people were killed or injured".
But two - say "one person was killed and one injured".

I say it means they died from severe injuries.

Man, I dont know, that makes no sense to me at all. Sounds like someone didn't realize what they were saying.
