Smoking 1 cigarette: Will not kill you unless it leads to addictive tobacco use. That would be a different story.

Can some one just die ?

Yes: Yes, although it is very rare. There is usually some underlying medical condition that they may or may not be aware of, things like problems with the heart, brain, lungs, etc can suddenly kill someone. If you are concerned about your health, please follow up with your physician; if you are grieving the loss of someone, your physician may be able to help get you in touch with a counselor.
