Default Permadeath without the Death bit - Help

How easy is it to do this:

When you die, or should I say just before you die you go unconscious
At that point when the player is on the ground unconscious I’d like to roll a dice as it were. Say 1 in 500 chance of permadeath.

Obviously most of the time you wouldn’t die but be laid on the floor in a sort of feign death way waiting for a good time to stand up.

The threat of permadeath would be a powerful deterrent against recklessness and I imagine it would raise the players heart beat a little.

Ideally it would go something like this

You have been knocked unconscious
The priests of discord roll 187 you roll <short pause> 54 Hurray you LIVE.
Or (alternate ending)
The priests of discord roll 124 you roll <short pause> 124 You are Dead!
Your character level has been set to 1 – Fortune has smiled upon you as you still have access to your bank and friends list.

If fact I’d make the chance of dieing 1 in level times 20
1 in 20 for a level 2 and 1 in 1,000 for a level 50.

I’m pretty good with php mysql etc. but I’m not sure where to start.
Perhaps at the point of death teleport the player to some sort of Judge who rolls the die.

Any ideas?
