"die of" and "die from"

Hi,

Is there any significant difference between the two phrases "die of" and "die out"?

Thanks a lot

Yes

A person can die of pneumonia.

Tribes, tribal customs, and populations can die out.

Just take a look at the diferences in the results that Google gives you for the two phrases:

die of - http://www.google.com/search?sourcei...q=%22die+of%22

die out - http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&l...=%22die+out%22

I hope that helps.
