This is one of those bugs with which the consequences themselves don't really tell what's wrong.
What abilities does the item have?
What triggers are there that could interact with the item?

Check your triggers for A unit acquires item events.
Edit: And then test to see if Hero dies when those triggers are disabled.

You reduced its life below 0.405. This can happen due to rounding errors if you have large values, trigger bugs or silly gameplay values.

By not reducing its life below 0.405? As we know nothing about your map, we cannot tell you the cause.
Some possible causes...
1. Trigger bug. Turning off all triggers should fix it if that is the case. If this is the cause you need to debug the triggers. Turn triggers off selectivly (a few at a time) until you find the one(s) causing the problem. Use game messages to help trace the logic that the trigger performs. Correct broken logic and the problem should be fixed.
2. Object Editor typo. Some abilites or upgrades modify maximum life. If a stupid value were used during the modification (such as a large negative value) it is possible to reduce the unit's maximum health below 1, killing it. Alternativly there are problems if very large values are used for health and health regeneration as it can be assumed that some kind of floating point number is used to represent them inside the game engine. This is usually only a problem in poorly designed maps where player scaling goes into the stupidly large number ranges but a mistake (unequiping an item) causes it to suddenly drop.
3. Obscure mechanics. When aquiring an item that modifies maximum life or mana there are a set of rules used to govern your current life or mana. These rules keep the percentage the same causing an increase (maximum raised) or decrease (maximum lowered). If something interacted strangly with these rules (upgrades?) it would be possible that life gets reduced lower than the living threshold when interacting with such abilites. This however seems the least plausable of the reasons.

this could be the problem.. i made an upgrade for my units to increase their life and regen. and i used also to my hero, before that my hero can pick all items, when i upgrade it,it Triggers to kill a hero when they pick up items, i create the game again and try not to upgrade this life and regen then my hero can pick,,,so what i did,i deleted the upgrade used by a hero {this life and regen upgrde} and try the game again.
then it's solve..
but my question is why it is only triggers when they pick an item in which the items doesnt concern on the upgrades, and the items are just normal items like gold coin or just simple scrolls or runes??
if the upgrade is the problem for the high regen then mybe it will kill all my units and hero after the research is completed..
