Default ...to death

Hi teachers,

I can always hear people say,"love him/her to death".To my understanding,it is on the positive side and there is no implication of making someone to die. Does it imply that "love someone very much in lifetime till he/she die"?

In the same logic,what about "sentence to death"? Does it mean "death penalty" or "life sentence"(keep he/she in prison till he/she die)?

Thanks
