I would call this, at the very least, misinformation and/or a Doctor who is not familiar with MS.

If stress caused a person with MS to die I should have been gone a long time ago

MS can be fataL, the MS community have lost their fair share through the years. However, unless you kow the exact circumstances there is no way to know if it was a direct result of MS, a complication of MS or if the person had another health problem that contributed to their death.
