I nominate Picard: 15 "deaths".

  • "Lonely Among Us": Picard exists for a period of time only as some sort of energy field out in space. He eventually gets saved by the power of terrible sci-fi. I file this under "temporary death", even though his consciousness still seemed to exist...somewhere out there.

  • "Samaritan Snare": Although not terribly explicit, some of the dialogue suggests that Picard may have been briefly, clinically dead on the operating table before being stabilized, and the ultimately saved by Pulaski.

  • "Time Squared": Picard kills another Picard.

  • "The Best of Both Worlds": Picard is declared a "casualty of war" by Admiral Hanson. He was not dead, but considered good as dead.

  • "Cause and Effect": Everyone on board dies (then it gets undone in a time loop).

  • "The Inner Light": Picard dies of old age in the alternate life that the probe gives him. As he dies, he wakes up on the bridge of the Enterprise.

  • "Tapestry": He dies on the operating table, and then comes back, possibly due to intenvention from Q.

  • "Chain of Command": Presumed dead after being captured by the Cardassians.

  • "Remember Me": Crusher is trapped in a static warp bubble and everyone else around her slowly disappears. Picard is one of the last to cease existing before we really know what is going on.

  • "Frame of Mind": Riker shoots himself and kills his imagined Picard in the process.

  • "Parallels": Picard is dead in various alternate timelines. The deaths are not shown on-screen, but that seems to be okay by the guidelines of the question. Also by the guidelines, this gets counted as one death (no matter how many timelines he dies in).

  • "Gambit": Picard is declared dead after he is "killed" by a transporter weapon.

  • "All Good Things": Two Enterprises blow up, presumably ending two Picards. Will count these as one death.

  • Generations : Picard looks to have died on Veridian III (due to explosion of the Veridian star) just as Kirk seemed to have died aboard the Enterprise-B. In actuality, Picard was saved by the Nexus (just as Kirk was), and we find this out a few moments later.

  • Nemesis : Picard's clone dies.

Some of these are fringe cases, but do fall into the death "types" listed by the OP in the question.
