I think that that would be spam. Report it and move on.
Pretty sure telling someone they're going to die is somehow against the CG.
Edit: keeping this up for the sake of mistake-ing

Chain mail is like spamming-ish. Someone might write:
COMMENT THIS ON 10 PEOPLE'S PROFILES OR YOU WILL DIE!!!
Or (in the forums):

Chain mail is a form of spam in which someone posts a message that encourages others to copy and post a similar message in more places.

This particular kind of spam is particularly malignant because all it takes is one chain mail message before it begins spreading like crazy. It's especially bad if the messages uses threats or bribes to encourage its spread (e.g. "post this on 10 profiles or Cookie Monster will get you“).

Note that chain messages, as with various other things that would typically be considered ”spam," are generally allowed in your forum signature, as it doesn't take up any extra space.
