How long/What causes item to disappear in Minecraft?

Question

I've apparently lost my diamond sword due to a death far from my spawn point. Was I just unlucky or do items disappear if you are so far/if they are on the ground for X minutes?

Answer

Items will disappear if they are on the ground for 5 minutes after you die. This timer starts ticking as soon as you die; even on the death screen that timer is going to keep counting, so if you go take a break to grab some food and come back to find out your character's been lying around dead for 10 minutes, your items are gone.
