To put your mind at ease, it is VERY difficult for individuals to pinpoint a user's location via IP address. They're often unreliable, don't directly lead to the house in question, and are easily spoofed by experienced individuals, so there's little likelihood this user will actually find anyone outside of posting their physical address or personal phone number. Furthermore, since Wikia hosts people from all around the world, there's also little likelihood this person lives in the same area as even one user there.

That being said, AwesomeOrange89 is right. Now, even if you don't think they can do anything right now, by filing a report it can help authorities track a situation in case someone actually was attacked in any way. It gives them a way to put two and two together. A regular user, and even most experienced hackers, can't pinpoint a perpetrators location, but authorities often can as they are allowed greater access to such technology when necessary.

Either drive to the local authorities or call them (I wouldn't use the emergency line unless you're certain someone is in danger this second) and file a report. Maybe they'll help, maybe they won't, but better to try than to worry, am I right? Just realize that making a death threat may or may not be illegal depending on your law books. For example, in the United States of America, a death threat is not illegal unless it involves misinformation that results in someone getting hurt, results in someone hurting themselves, it can be proven that the death threat will actually be carried out, or it is against the President of the United States. Even then, it changes from State to State in certain provisions, and even counties have some different rules as well. Some less tolerant, some more. If anyone will know, it'll be your authorities. I'm sure they'll be more than happy to give you a quick explanation.

It is good you take these seriously, as it is never a good thing to get a death threat, but don't worry yourself to sickness. It won't do you any good. Lots of people online just spout hot air to just be intimidating.
