To say that in one world "you" die and in another "you" live is a gross miscommunication. Someone dies, someone lives...but it isn't "you" in any world other than this one. MWI, again, isn't my thing....but it deserves to be laid out in specifics if it's going to be discussed.

Substitute "you" with "doppelganger".
