Would they die?

Exactly how would they die?

Obviously it would not be a "hanging". What geometrical death?

They’d be ripped apart due to tidal forces. The difference in gravity between their feet and their head would be so significant that it would pull them into the shape of a piece of spaghetti and the force of attraction between their cells would get overpowered by the force of gravity.

Not if it was an extremely  large black hole.

They might die of boredom.(or enlightenment)

It would still happen regardless, the only difference is where. For very massive BHs you’d need to get far below the horizon before tidal forces become noticeable, whereas for small ones this might happen long before you even reach the horizon.

I suppose they may die of starvation or dehydration before getting ripped apart if it was sufficiently large
