Would "死んでいたそう(ね)" be an appropriate translation for "looks like you almost
died (there)"?

Imagine you throw your scarf around your neck and almost hit a person. Except
a scarf hardly hurts and actually it was so far away it could have never hit
the person. Yet the person looks at you as if you almost killed her/him.

question
colloquial-language
appropriate sarcastic "almost died"
Among the most common and natural-sounding phrases for that type of situations
would be:

> 「死ぬところだったね。」
>
> 「死んじゃうところだったね。」
>
> 「死ぬかと思ったでしょう？」

I would personally recommend the second one above.

「"死んでいたそう(ね)"」 would not work because it expresses hearsay meaning:

"I hear (someone) was already dead (then)."

I think these might sound funny if said quickly / abruptly

> なくならないようにお願い。  
>  死亡しそうだと思った。気を付けてね。  
>  くたばちゃたっら、いけないなのでご注意ね。
