So I learned that we have so much mucus in our stomach it protects us from our stomach, is this true and if so, has anyone ever died from not having enough mucus in their stomach and die from the acid?

Yes and no.
If you have an ulcer which doesn’t get treated and it leads to leakage then you can die, but generally it’s going to be from infection and bleeding and not from the stomach acid alone.
Similarly, complications with GERD can lead to death.
