I was farming in ACT2 Hell in the 85 area and died, I tried to get my body died again and logged out so I could start over. I only got my most recent body and my other body is gone…it had all my MF gear including the first SoJ I have ever found. Gone for good?
If u die in a bad spot, just save and exit.
I did…the body I got had nothing on it…
Yes. It is gone for good. RIP gear. The death mechanic in D2 and D2R is rather harsh and a bit complicated if you are not familiar with it.
You can have multiple corpses. BUT if you pick up something on the way to your body and die the game gives you the corpse with the highest gold value in town. It can be a crappy white scepter, but those sell well vs your runewords or uniques.
Here is the original D2 article about it. It is long and you should read it all. I also copied a bit out that is relevant I think.

Multiple Corpses/Losing Items!
A player may have up to 16 corpses.Realm Characters: The corpse with the most gold value (in items) will be saved between games. So keep this in mind when putting on equipment to recover your corpse. Your original body with your equipment should save unless you manage to equip yourself with a greater value of equipment, die, then leave the game.
Open Characters: Only your oldest corpse is saved between games. Make sure you go back and recover your original body with your equipment before leaving the game.
Warning on recovering your corpse
If you needed +Strength or +Dexterity items to equip other weapons or pieces of armor, you may have to re-equip these items manually. When you click on your corpse, the game attempts to re-equip your items to where they were before your death, but this depends largely on the order in which your items are picked up. For example, armor that requires more than your base Strength will not be equipped if the game attempts to place it before placing the item that increased your Strength enough to wear the armor. In this case, the armor will return to your inventory; if you do not have enough room, it will remain on the corpse. Check your inventory and make sure that all of your items have been re-equipped correctly.Body Count
Having Difficulty recovering your corpse?
If you can’t find your corpse, or if it’s too dangerous to retrieve it with your current equipment, simply exit and re-enter the game. Your corpse, and all of its items, will appear near your starting point in town. The only drawback is that you will lose any gold your character dropped when he died and you will give up the chance to regain 75% of your lost experience on Nightmare and Hell Difficulty. This is a good option for Nightmare and Hell difficulties, in which death results in lost experience. The corpse will appear at your starting point, typically near the point where Town Portals appear in town: In Lut Gholein, this area is at the bottom right of town. In Kurast, it is next to Meshif. You should be able to find your corpse easily if you explore the town.
Yeah gone for good =/ … As commando said if you are softcore and die in a bad spot just leave right away.

I mean before you die again. You get your most recent body.
