You! Yes, you! You are dead!
The Heavy

Death occurs when a player's health points drop to zero, resulting in a kill. There are several types of kills that can be inflicted either by players or by the environment. A death yields a range of points to the player or players who dealt the killing blow and adds one point to the victim's death count.

Upon death, the player's point of view is briefly shifted to third person, as the class they were playing either turns into a ragdoll or gibs, depending on the nature of the death, and drops their weapon, which can be walked over by another player to gain ammo and metal. The name of the player and their respective killer is displayed in the recent kills log on the upper right corner of the HUD, along with the kill icon of the respective weapon used by the killer. After death, the player is placed in the respawn cycle and must wait a certain length of time before rejoining the game. During this time, the player will temporarily enter spectate mode, unless instant respawn is enabled on the server.

In Mann vs. Machine mode, a player's death is broadcast to all teammates via a sound cue.

Death can be caused by damage received from various parts of the map. Some environmental interactions can result in instant death, such as being struck by a train. Other interactions may only cause some damage, which may not be enough to kill a player, such as being near an exploding pumpkin bomb. Some environmental hazards have unique kill icons.
