I have already have the death counter, but I want the death counter display above the player's head, so they can see how many deaths they have, they can make it visible or not how many times they wish.

Just in case, here's my death counter script:

print("LinkedLeaderboard script version 5.00 loaded")

stands = {}
CTF_mode = false


function onHumanoidDied(humanoid, player)
	local stats = player:findFirstChild("leaderstats")
	if stats ~= nil then
		local deaths = stats:findFirstChild("Deaths") --change the name to deaths, wipeouts, ect. 
		--HAS TO MATCH THE BOTTOM \/
		deaths.Value = deaths.Value + 1


		local killer = getKillerOfHumanoidIfStillInGame(humanoid)

		handleKillCount(humanoid, player)
	end
end

function onPlayerRespawn(property, player)
	
	if property == "Character" and player.Character ~= nil then
		local humanoid = player.Character.Humanoid
			local p = player
			local h = humanoid
			humanoid.Died:connect(function() onHumanoidDied(h, p) end )
	end
end

function getKillerOfHumanoidIfStillInGame(humanoid)
	local tag = humanoid:findFirstChild("creator")

	if tag ~= nil then
		
		local killer = tag.Value
		if killer.Parent ~= nil then
			return killer
		end
	end

	return nil
end

function handleKillCount(humanoid, player)
	local killer = getKillerOfHumanoidIfStillInGame(humanoid)
	if killer ~= nil then
		local stats = killer:findFirstChild("leaderstats")
		if stats ~= nil then
			local kills = stats:findFirstChild("KOs")
			if killer ~= player then
				kills.Value = kills.Value + 1
				
			else
				kills.Value = kills.Value - 1
				
			end
		end
	end
end

function findAllFlagStands(root)
	local c = root:children()
	for i=1,#c do
		if (c[i].className == "Model" or c[i].className == "Part") then
			findAllFlagStands(c[i])
		end
		if (c[i].className == "FlagStand") then
			table.insert(stands, c[i])
		end
	end
end

function hookUpListeners()
	for i=1,#stands do
		stands[i].FlagCaptured:connect(onCaptureScored)
	end
end

function onPlayerEntered(newPlayer)

	if CTF_mode == true then

		local stats = Instance.new("IntValue")
		stats.Name = "leaderstats"

		local captures = Instance.new("IntValue")
		captures.Name = "Captures"
		captures.Value = 0


		captures.Parent = stat --do not fix this! vif you do, it counts captures

		while true do
			if newPlayer.Character ~= nil then break end
			wait(5)
		end

		stats.Parent = newPlayer

	else

		local stats = Instance.new("IntValue")
		stats.Name = "leaderstats"

		local kills = Instance.new("IntValue")
		kills.Name = ""
		kills.Value = 0

		local deaths = Instance.new("IntValue")
		deaths.Name = "Deaths" --change the name to deaths, wipeouts, ect. 
		--HAS TO MATCH THE TOP ONE^^
		deaths.Value = 0

		kills.Parent = stat --do not fix this! if you do, it counts kills
		deaths.Parent = stats

		while true do
			if newPlayer.Character ~= nil then break end
			wait(5)
		end

		local humanoid = newPlayer.Character.Humanoid

		humanoid.Died:connect(function() onHumanoidDied(humanoid, newPlayer) end )

		newPlayer.Changed:connect(function(property) onPlayerRespawn(property, newPlayer) end )


		stats.Parent = newPlayer

	end

end


function onCaptureScored(player)

		local ls = player:findFirstChild("leaderstats")
		if ls == nil then return end
		local caps = ls:findFirstChild("Captures")
		if caps == nil then return end
		caps.Value = caps.Value + 1

end


findAllFlagStands(game.Workspace)
hookUpListeners()
if (#stands > 0) then CTF_mode = true end
game.Players.ChildAdded:connect(onPlayerEntered)

So you can do all of this, but you request a death counter? Simply make a billboard gui over the players head with a text label and have it updated everytime they die. Make sure to throw it back on their head whenever they die.

Looks like a script you got from free models or something.
