Default What happens when two players die?

1. How is it handled when 2 players die in the same combat? For instance, my son was helping me fight a monster, and someone wandered in a Motorcycle Gang. We didn't have the power to defeat both monsters. Who rolls to run first? If we both fail to run from the biker gang and we both die, are we dying at the same time, or would whoever rolled first die first? Would he participate in looting my body and me his since we died?

The player whose turn it is rolls first. Then the helper.

Looting the body happens after both players roll.

Death occcurs at the same time.

If you both die, then neither of you can loot any bodies.

Every part of this answer is incorrect.

The order is not set -- it's up to the people running away to decide who runs first. If they can't decide, roll off, high roller decides the order.

You loot a body as soon as a munchkin dies. A player who still has to roll to run away can still loot a body.

Sorry. I've been doing it wrong then.

You loot a body as soon as a munchkin dies. A player who still has to roll to run away can still loot a body.
So if the first player to roll dies, the second person running away, who hasn't rolled yet, gets to loot his body?

If the first player dies. His body is looted, then the second player dies, does the first player get to participate in looting the body? Or is he unable to receive cards due to being dead? I believe he wouldn't be able to receive any cards until the next players turn, since that's when he comes back to life. Is that correct?

If both players die, the first one could not loot the second because the first is still dead, and cannot receive any cards until he returns to life at the beginning of the next player's turn.
