They are called 'Sherpas'. They can guide climbers up the mountain and keep the route safe and open.
I do not think any Sherpas died, but five climbers/guides did.
He payed back the Sherpas by building them a school. (He payed them back because the Sherpas helped him while climbing mount Everest)
Sherpas are people who guide other up mountains. So, typically in the mountains of Nepal, the Himalayas, etc.

Sherpas eat mainly wheat porridge and potatoes, supplemented by occasional meat, butter and Tibetan tea.
Sherpas live there quite cheaply. If you wanted to live there and also have a European standard of living, that would be very expensive.
