Death health math for fun
According to the wiki, "The formula for Death's health is 655,350 * player level."
Before we start, let's make some assumptions. Your build consists of: Laurel + Clock Lancet (to be able to stop Death from killing you) and 4 items with high(~2k) DPS able to consistently hit your target (ex. Thousand Edge)

How long will it take to defeat the first Death after it spawns at L level?

655350 * L (player level) / 8000(DPS) = Time in seconds to defeat Death

Level 1: ~82 seconds
Level 2: ~164 seconds (twice level 1, who would have guessed?)
Level 5: ~410 seconds (almost 7 minutes)
Level 12: ~983 seconds (over 16 minutes)
Level 25: ~2048 seconds (over 34 minutes)
Level 50: ~4096 seconds (over 68 minutes)
Level 75: ~6144 seconds (over 102 minutes)
Level 100: ~8192 seconds (over 136 minutes)

Keeping in mind an additional Death joins the party every minute, there are quite a few on screen by the end. Maybe that's a bit unrealistic at higher levels.

What if I can only live for about 5 minutes after the first Death spawns before they overwhelm me and I die? How much damage per second do I need to do in those first 5 minutes in order to defeat Death at L level?

655350 * L / 300 (time in seconds before dying) = DPS required to defeat first Death

Level 1: 2184.5 DPS
Level 2: 4369 DPS (twice level 1 again? what a coincidence!)
Level 5: 10,922.5 DPS (Thousand Edge x5.5)
Level 12: 26,214 DPS (Thousand Edge x13)
Level 25: 54,612.5 DPS (Thousand Edge x27)
Level 50: 109,225 DPS (Thousand Edge x54)
Level 75: 163,837.5 DPS (Thousand Edge x82)
Level 100: 218,450 DPS (That's a lot of damage)

I guess the only take-away from this is: if you want to kill Death, try to stay as low level as possible or somehow live for a very long time.
I hope you had some fun reading, I had fun doing a little bit of math.

EDIT: readability
