I am not referring to a scenario where one cartridge has a bullet in it. I have read of a specific case where a blank cartridge was fired and yet the person still died. If no bullet was in the round, how could it kill someone?

Blanks contain the same amount of gun powered as a live shell, sometimes even more in order to create a more impressive bang.
The force created by this is still enough to fire a bullet, the force is focussed down the barrel.
If you were within a few meters of the barrel with it pointed at you this could injure or kill.
There’s also wadding to keep the gun powered in the shell, as there’s no bullet to keep it in place, this can also become a projectile and kill.
