Contrary to popular belief, there have been ZERO deaths attributed solely to ecstasy use.

Death can occur when ecstasy is used in combination with other drugs, and if enough is ingested, overdose may occur (research is currently being done on the neurotoxicity of ecstasy, but not conclusive results have been found).

The most common way (though still rare) to die on ecstasy is dehydration, usually occurring at raves or clubs. When a person stays out all night partying and doesn't get enough water, they may dehydrate to the point of death. Inversely, if someone overcompensates and drinks TOO MUCH water, death may also occur. However, considering the fact that if someone takes ecstasy at home sitting on their couch, dehydration won't occur, this seems more of a problem with the rave/clubbing scene than a problem with the substance itself.

Why do you experience pleasurable feeling when taking Ecstasy?

Because MDMA (Ecstasy) causes a flood of serotonin in your brain. Serotonin is the chemical that creates a sense of well-being and balances your mood. Ecstasy causes all the serotonin in your brain to be released at once. That is why people often feel depressed and unhappy for a day or so after taking Ecstasy. All of the serotonin in their brain has been depleted, and it takes awhile for your brain to replace it.

The LD50 (the point at which 50% of people would die) for MDMA is estimated at about 4000mg. That being said, most ecstasy pills do not only contain MDMA. Since every pill is different, and you have no way of knowing how much of what is in each pill, there is no realistic answer for your question.
