Well it really depends...
I'm assuming that by body system you mean organ.
If a vital organ such as your kidneys failed, of course you would die.
But, if an organ like your appendix needs to be removed, it can also be fatal even though scientists are not sure what it does.
*********Contrablue Adds:
A body system is a group of structures and organs that provides functions for the organism as a whole. For example, the circulatory system includes the heart and all blood vessels, while the nervous system includes the brain, spinal cord, sense organs, and nerves. The appendix, discussed by the previous contributor, is not a system but is a nonessential part of the digestive system (which IS essential to life).
A complex organism, like a human being, relies upon the synchronized working of several physiologic systems to sustain life. The FAILURE of ANY of these SYSTEMS, with one exception, will ultimately lead to the progressive failure of the other systems and DEATH. Think about it: each and every system -- nervous, circulatory, respiratory, urinary, digestive, connective/musculoskeletal, and endocrine -- is ESSENTIAL to human life.
The exception? The reproductive system. An individual human can live without a reproductive system, but of course cannot reproduce himself. The reproductive system is needed to ensure the continuity of the species as a whole, but a single instance of the organism can live without it. The reproductive system is, however, often grouped with the urinary (genito-urinary) or endocrine systems. When grouped in these manners, the reproductive is part of an ESSENTIAL system.

What would happen if the circulatory system failed your body?
You would die.
What would happen in the circulatory system and in the whole body if the heart valves failed?
if the valves failed then the blood would go in the wrong direction.
What would happen to the body if the respiratory system failed?
You would die if the respiratory system failed. It carries oxygen to the blood and removes carbon dioxide from the blood. If either if these functions ceases your body will shut down and soon die.
What would happen if the human body didn't have a respiratory system?
Then the human body wouldn't exist. XD
What would happen if the temperature controls failed and body temperature became abnormally high?
when body temperature becomes too high the proteins in the body can ''denature'' or lose their shape, becoming functionless
If blood failed to transport oxygen to the cell body what will happen?
The person will die.
What would happen if the nervous system of the human body stops working?
The end result would be death.
What would happen if the endocrine system fails?
Your body might not grow or mature properly.All body function would be deranged and death would occur .
What could happen to the body if the urinary system stopped working?
You would die, your bladder would explode and you would die
What would happen if the skeletal system didn't help the muscular sytem enable the body to move?
We would be immobile. And we would die.
What would happen to the cells in your body if your lungs failed?
If your lungs failed, your cells would not receive enough oxygen and would not be able to eliminate carbon dioxide properly. This could lead to cell damage, organ failure, and ultimately, death.
What would happen if we didn't have the integumentary system?
The integumentary system is supposed to regulate internal temperature. Without it, the body's cellular habitat will be unlivable, and the body will undergo chaos on a cellular level. The body will not survive long without it.
