Falling from very high

Is it true that if you free fall from a huge height you die before you hit the floor?
Why?

People on the International Space Station live in Free fall, as they always are falling down to the earth, but "keep missing".

Partial true. I dont think you would die of coldness, neither of oxygen loss, as the oxygen rise as you fell down.
