Do I lose as soon as my life reaches 0, even with triggers on the stack?
Several community members give the same answer in the forum threads; no official ruling.

Yes. Life at 0 or less is checked as a state-based action whenever a player would get priority, so you lose before anything on the stack can resolve. If both players hit 0 or less at the same time, the game is a draw.
