When you die, you come back into the game in the temple. (Unless you own
a [CASTLE](/help/info/castle-castles/), in which case you come back into the game there.) All equipment
and gold remains in your corpse at the place you died. To retrieve your 
objects, go back to where you died and get them from your body.
Alternatively, you could [RETRIEVE](/help/commands/retrieve/) your corpse from the Mortician. 

Every time you die, there is a chance you will lose 1 point of 
[CONSTITUTION](/help/info/charisma-wisdom-intelligence-strength-dexterity-constitution-statistics-stats/).
If your constitution drops below 1, you will be dead forever. There are 
places within the game where constitution can be bought.
