Answers:
Yes, sadly women can pass while giving birth due to blood loss. Fortunately, the number of women are very small because doctors are there to help with any complications.
The reason you bleed is mostly because the placenta is detaching from the uterus wall. When it does, the wall is exposed, leaving tissue and blood vessels open, therefore you bleed. As your uterus shrinks back to normal the wall heals and the vessels close. This process can take up to 6 weeks ,but usually happens in 2 weeks. A lot of women stop bleeding in two weeks, given that they rest and let their bodies heal.
Complications can happen most commonly within 14 days after giving birth, you can have hemorrhage if you dont let your body heal, or if you develop an infection.

Most bleeding is from the uterus, not the vagina, when a mother dies, it's common that it was due to portions of placenta that stayed in the uterus, so the uterus can't contract enough to make the bleeding stop.
There are other conditions that cause death from bleeding, the uterus can "break" (sort of speak), not contract at all (uterine contraction is necessary to stop the normal bleeding) placenta accreta...Health Question & Answer

You're referring to postpartum hemorrhage caused by uterine atony (the uterus loses its tone and cannot contract). Postpartum hemorrhage can also be caused by a retained placenta, placental sloughing, uterine rupture, or uterine inversion (the uterus literally turns inside out).
