If you want to be really technical the survivors would also lose 50% of all the other cells in their bodies and probably wouldn't live another few months. I'm not a doctor so I won't try to put a number of weeks, days or hours on it, let alone argue that number, but hey knock yourself out.

/edit based on another comment - even if you could stay physically intact with half the cells in your body dying, half of your brain cells dying would probably kill you instantly.

If you include bacteria, then probably no human died from the snap. There are significantly more of them
