Deep breath. No, really. Take another. As far as the double death thing, there's been quite a lot of discussion about it in the Bugs section.
Here's a link to one of the threads. To make a long story short, even if you don't lag out, say you're near a mine when it goes off and your health goes down to where you can't even see it, but you don't fall over dead. You actually died, but didn't go through the regular motions of "death", so you think you grabbed stims in time. Next time, you're not so lucky and you hit the floor. You look at your stats and see 2 deaths recorded when it looked like you only died once. You died twice, but didn't wind up on the floor with a "You have died" message hanging in the middle of your screen on the first one, but it counts, nonetheless.
ETA: And yeah, I'll agree it's annoying as heck. Then I think about it: whether or not I hit the floor, I still died, so....meh. As a wise forumite once put it, "If you ain't dying, you ain't trying."
