We know that conqueror's haki is said to be strongest haki that only a few
people are lucky enough possess from birth. But so far it has only be used to
telepathically knock people unconscious or make your attacks stronger.

Is it possible to kill someone without touching them using only this haki? If
yes will it look any different from scaring someone to death?

one-piece
Can people be killed with conqueror's haki alone?


Seems very likely, even if there are no concrete examples of that happening.  
You say " **only** be used to telepathically knock people unconscious or make
your attacks stronger" but apparently Haki is capable of applying actual
pressure on objects too.

When Shanks boars the Mobydick you see that many members of the crew almost
faint even if he is still kinda restraining himself. But more importantly ou
can also notice that Conqueror Haki applies **physical pressure** on
**inanimate** nearby objects, causing actual damage to a ship that had
traveled in the Grand Line for years and therefore is probably build to be
more resistant than average. It is true that somehow a tired Law managed to
withstand Fujitora tremendous gravity powers, but I doubt your "average Joe"
could do the same and withstand Yonko level of Haki pressure. I expect that a
random passerby could and would be crushed if the Haki user intent was to
cause damage.

To put that into context, here are some feats of Conqueror Haki clashing
(notice: do not confuse Armament Haki infusion and Conqueror Infusion - the
second one is the one with the black lighting effect).

Remember Kaido henchmen fearing that he would simply destroy the whole
fortress (and the whole island) if his fight with Big Mom would go on for too
much. I totally expect that it would be reasonable that such force could crush
an untrained background character to death.

Anyway it is worth noticing that most of the extreme example of Haki
"explosions" were caused by **two** users clashing. Yet, Shanks example above
seems to indicate that an extremely skilled user could at least cause a
serious amount of physical pain on a weak, untrained person.
