Yes, you can die from a concussion. If you are hit in the head hard enough, it can cause bleeding within the skull. In particular if an artery is affected (epidural bleed), it can cause death quickly. Subdural bleeds (veins) can also cause pressure buildup and death, but more gradually. Both of these are not very common though.

Yes, you can die from collapsing and injuring your head. The head houses the brain, as I'm sure you know. You also most likely know that the brain is an essential organ, the slightest damage could impair one of your body's familiar functions, like seeing.

The skull acts as a pretty good shield to most minor head trauma, but if you hit your head hard enough, there's the possibility of actually cracking your skull open.

If you do injure your head, and are concerned that you may have a neurological injury, it doesn't have to be a skull fracture, even minor concussions usually need attention, seek medical attention.
