If it's Lydia, she can die. I was playing a little this morning before I had to go in to work. My orc warrior/smith is level 16, and I had Lydia and Barbas (from the Clavicus Vile quest) following me around because I was working on that quest. I found what looked like Bleak Falls Barrow on top of a mountain in the far northwest coast, so I tried to get to it. Eventually I did, found a word wall on top of the hill, but when I approached it a dragon priest appeared out of the sarcophagus and the fight was on. I got killed about 3 different times. Eventually I equipped a resist frost necklace I had in inventory, downed a resist frost potion, used Berserk as soon as he appeared (double damage inflicted and take half damage for 60 seconds) and switched to the Become Ethereal shout to buy time to heal if needed. Both times I managed to win the fight, and both times Lydia died. I wound up reloading and leaving it for a later time.
