How it's used
This expression is a highly aggressive, insulting way to tell someone they are worthless or that their actions are intolerable. It functions as a harsh rhetorical command rather than a literal suggestion to commit suicide. Using it will almost certainly cause a major confrontation or end a relationship immediately.
Examples
You live your life like this, why don't you just go and die.
He is always lying to people, he really should just go and die.

Common phrases
really should just go and die
Common mistake
Do not mistake this for a literal request or a suggestion to go somewhere. It is purely an expression of extreme contempt and should be avoided in all polite or professional settings.
