Really, all you need to understand about Death and Dying is found at the link. :)
You will get no hard and fast answers as to number of times, as the variations in that number are PC dependent on various factors (Level and Notoriety being the main), and change from PC to PC.
To sum up though:
If you bleed out to -10 hp two things can happen...
1) You're Saved - Your Mysterious Allies (MA's) can save you; you did NOT die! This will only happen a certain number of times, however; factors loosely explained above. You will lose Notoriety and XP when this happens, though not as much as if you actually died. You will be transported by them to a safe place (non-hostile zone, typically a city location, selection random). You will not lose belongings, you will not lose gold.
2) You Die - Your MA's get tired of saving your arse, and decide you are no longer worth the efforts they have placed in you. At this point (and from here on out) the choice is yours whether or not to shuffle off this mortal coil. You WILL lose Notoriety and XP (more than if your MA's save you). If you choose to continue, you will be returned to the place of your demise. You will be invisible (and non-hostile) to whatever killed you, but only for a VERY short time; you will NOT have enough time to get everything you owned!! I've found that going to your last page of inventory first is a good idea. ;) You may try to gather as much of your belongings as you can. If you are a pack-rat, I suggest trying to get your working gear set ONLY, and then only the big pieces that are readily identifiable in your current (RL) state of increased stress.
GRAB A SET PORTAL STONE, AND BE READY TO PUNCH IT!!
Once you become visible to whatever killed you in the first place, it will try to finish the job; yes, it is possible to die multiple times from the same baddie. I know only too well. ;)
The bottom line is, Thay has HCR in place...respect that. If you find that you are getting saved a lot, re-examine your strategies and adjust them; discretion is the better part of valor.
You cannot be "devil may care" here...your PC won't last long if you are. ;)
