It was very hard yes, but I didn't die there.
However, I tend to die from stupid crap like swinging a bat too late or blowing myself up with a mine. lol
I did just finish the game. Got the "best" ending too. :)
I may run through the game again just to see how few survivors I can do it with. I made a lot of stupid mistakes early on and burned through a total of 37 survivors.
