Died from a black widow bite? I don't think so, because you would have a long enough time to get help. I don't think the poison from back widows will work that quickly and its also unlikely that it would even kill a full grown man, unless he was really sick or something, IMO but I could be wrong.
I used to keep black widows when I was about 15 and I let one of their egg sacks hatch into about 200 babies
The other day I was out in my yard doing some landscaping and placing tanbark around some plants. After I just grabbed a handful of tanbark I felt a stinging feeling on my one finger. I looked down and the biggest wolf spider I've have ever seen was wrapped around my finger biting the crap out of me! Now I'm not afraid of spiders but seeing that guy biting me freaked me out and I flung it into the woods. I was surprised that it didn't swell up or anything. It just burned and throbbed for about an hour.
What a load of crock, how could you keep termites, spiders, and geckos free-roaming in your apartment? I am kind of creeped out by spiders but my fiance wants a tarantula and I'm sure I'll grow to care for him just as much as our other pets.
