There was a tornado near my village in Belgium (Hardly the land of freak weather) which was preceeded by a hailstorm. The hail was only about an inch across or so.
After the storm and tornado had gone through and we were outside evaluating the damage a man staggered into the village. He had been out jogging (Shorts and T-Shirt) when the hail fell and it looked like someone had beaten him all over his body (loads of individual Bruises, bleeding etc.).
And this was only relatively small hail in the grand scheme of things. I can easily imagine hail being able to kill someone.
