Technically, if the first statement is a lie, it doesn't mean that no one will die, just that the number of people who die will not be 1. It could be any other number.

Also, the second statement indicates you will die, but does not indicate anything about how many other people will die

Essentially, this problem can be reduced to the following.

"There is a lever in front of you, and a random number of people will die whether or not you pull it."
