Most medications that are expired can be taken safely and still have the same efficacy. Some meds will lose their efficacy and therefore, I suppose that in theory it can then cause a death. Insulin is one such medication. The US army did a study of something like over 100 medication because they had huge stockpiles worth millions and that's where my info comes from. The drug companies have to come up with an expiration date and aren't going to spend twelve years doing the study and constantly changing the expiration date. Also, some pharmacies simply put their own version of an expiration date, usually a year. I just took meds last month that were two years past their expiration date and no problems.
