I couldn't put my tablet down after downloading T5.10 Book 1 and I'm going to re-read the book again, but I feel like I've missed something. I checked the ToC and index for character death rules and from the combat chapters I'm inferring that when a character takes damage they lose 1 characteristic point per hit taken and that character dies when they are out of C1, C2, and C3. So for a human Str, Dex, and End. Am I doing that correctly?

Essentially, yes. It can be more involved as a process (e.g., characters are Out of Action during combat rounds and the exact meaning of "Out of Action" is determined after the combat rounds conclude). Also, success with Medical (or similar skill) can mitigate a C reaching 0.
You are correct that for a Human C1=Str, C2=Dex, and C3=End. Entity dies when the physical characteristics (C1, C2, C3) are all at 0.
I had to read most of the text in order to start to get a sense about how all of the parts interact. So, be patient and keep your questions in mind as you discover more of what is in the text and tables.
