Lydia died for me when I did a pivot while using Flames. She was trying to watch my back by attacking the head honcho at a fort (the same guy we were there to sort out) who snuck up behind me. I hadn't saved for quite a while so I left here there. I still feel bad about that.
She sure can. Give her some better armor, some better weapons and use Healing Hands on her, which also raises your Restoration skill and she'll be around for a very long time. I'm not sure about high levels but I'm up to Level 29 and she's still with me.
:tes:
I'll 'fess up; I used the fire - disable - enable - rehire trick with the console to level up her stats. I just hate having companions die on me.
Oh, she can definitely die. I've killed her every time I've taken her with me, except two. I sacrificed her those times. I guess that's still killing her.
Yes all companions can die. If you see Lydia or whoever get on one knee it means they are vulnerable. Any AOE friendly fire spell, missfired arrow shot, etc etc will land the killing blow.

Not every follower can die. the DB initiates and Derkeethus are some that can't die. and i'm sure there's others.
