As you probably know, death in Hardcore is permanent and you must level up a new character from scratch. Sometimes, death can be caused by external factors such as bad internet connection, lag, or power outage, which is why so many players simply avoid playing Hardcore.
Here’s a recap of some unfortunate deaths that occurred in Diablo 4 in Hardcore difficulty.
The first one goes to wudijo, the first player to reach Level 100 in Hardcore solo without group play. His Rogue died because he misclicked the scroll.

Quin69 somehow managed to die in an invulnerable bubble on the loading screen with a cheat death potion. More on that here.
But it’s not just streamers that get caught up in extremely unlucky situations. Here’s a player whose friend died at Level 99 with only 50% XP remaining.

A power outage was the main cause of Nutsnboldt’s death at Level 99.
