I suffer from Sleep Paralysis and have been under a physicians care for this for quite some time. To my knowledge, despite how frightening the event can be, nobody has died from it. Unless they were already prone to a heart attack or heart failure and the sudden start that occurs when you snap out of sleep paralysis triggered one. But even that is pretty far fetched, so I wouldn't worry.
