How did Hamlet die and what is the official account of his death?
Laertes stabs him with a poisoned sword. As for the official version of his death, Fortinbras, who looks poised to succeed Claudius as king, knows the true story and has no particular reason to cover it up. He does say "Let four captains bear Hamlet like a soldier to the stage," but he is just giving Hamlet an honourable funeral, which he is of course entitled to.
Why did Laertes die in Hamlet?
Hamlet stabbed him with the poisoned sword which Laertes had poisoned to kill Hamlet. He was, in Hamlet's phrase, "hoist with his own petard."
Where did the ghost appear in Hamlet?
In the first Scene, Act I scene 1, the Ghost is seen by sentinels at a platform outside the castle. (The "platform" is a raised area, an earthen mound, that gives an elevated viewing position. In performance, stage or movie, the first scene is often set on the castle ramparts, but Shakespeare's dialogue explicitly contradicts that.) In Scene 4 (Act I scene 4) the Ghost is seen by Hamlet, Horatio, and Marcellus, again at the platform. In Scene 5 (Act I scene 5) the Ghost is still being seen by Hamlet, alone now, at some distance from the platform. (This scene is probably set in or near the graveyard, but the location is not explicit in the dialogue, and identifying the setting as the graveyard relies on subtle details of interpretation.) In Scene 11 (Act 3 scene 4), the Closet Scene, the Ghost is seen by Hamlet (but not by Gertrude) in Gertrude's private room. So, overall, the Ghost appears in four Scenes, at three locations. If the questioner only wanted to know where the Ghost first appears, the answer is: at the sentinels' platform. And that happens in the first Scene.
