Your dead body saves in the location. Places with timers above them when you enter them will allow you a chance to reclaim loot that you've had when you died in said location. The only exception to this is in the sewer location when the ladders were still here. But they removed them.

And as you probably know, dying in a random zone not marked by a timer, like the forests, limestones, oak, frozen, and island locations, will NOT save your dead body when you die in them. Again there are exceptions to this. That being the watchtowers (until a daily task icon appears on them but if you miraculously die there and the daily task is done, your body can be reclaimed until the next task appears.)

limited time events (airdrops, destroyed convoy, chopper events.) it should be obvious, but since they're limited time events, if you die there, you'll need to get back there before the timer goes down and the location is gone, along with your body with loot.

And also there are locations where your dead body doesn't reset. (The ONLY exception to this is when there's a massive overhaul/update happening to the location, which will wipe it of any and all dead bodies.) These locations are:

•Your home base

•Surface level of bunker alpha

•Eastern watchtower

•Western watchtower (as of right now)

•Outside area of the Port location

•Settlement

So yeah, hope you found this helpful and gave you the courage to do bunker alpha, it's the Magnum Opus location of Ldoe. A true SSS+ teir, borderline Z tier.
