What´s the right (best?) way to say it?
- J was sent to hospital, but doesn´t run (the) risk of death/dying.

"Dying" is better, although "death" could be, and is, used in that context.
 
What about the most common verb used in this case? To run?
 
I would say 'I was taken to hospital but wasn't in any danger of dying'.
