How does a person die from a sugar coma?

Multiple ways: Two variations, low blood sugar, and hyperosmolar comas including ketoacidosis. Multiple metabolic derangements affecting cardiac and brain functions, but also kidney and other internal organ issues. A superimposed infection could also be the culprit.
