Code:
mob
    proc
        deathcheck(mob/M)
            if(istype(M,/mob/Player/))
                M<<"You have died!"
                sleep(4)
                M<<"You will lose half your gold if you respawn. Do you wish to respawn, or wait 3 minutes for another player to revive you?"
                M<<input("Wait for another player to revive you?") in list("Yes","No")
                switch(M)
                    if("Yes")
                        src<<"You have 3 minutes."
                        sleep(2400)
                        if(M.dead)
                            M.Move(locate(M.GX,M.GY,M.GZ))
                            var/nowgold = round(M.gold/2)
                            M.gold = nowgold
                    if("No")
                        M.Move(locate(M.GX,M.GY,M.GZ))
                        var/nowgold = round(M.gold/2)
                        M.gold = nowgold
                del M


Problem description:
It always asks me if I want to respawn if I kill another /mob/Player/. Waht did I do wrong?

Uh...if(istype(M,/mob/Player/)) just asks if mob M is of the /mob/Player/ subtype watever. It doesn't ask if it is YOUR mob or THEIR mob, just asks if its a /mob/Player. What did you want to do?

A couple of problems

- You have your DeathCheck() backwards. src should be the guy who is dying, and M would be the person who killed src (the player).

- You can't use input like that, input return any text. You're also trying to compare a mob with text, which will never happen

- I also assume you want to check their health when you're doing a death check, unless you do it somewhere else that you haven't shown us

The way to do a death check would be like this:
mob/proc
  DeathCheck(mob/M)
    if(istype(src, /mob/Player))
      src << "You have died."
      sleep(4)
      src << "You will lose half your gold if you respawn.  Do you wish to respawn, or wait 3 minutes for another player to revive you?"
      spawn()
        if((input(src, "Wait for another player to revive you?","Revive") in list("Yes","No")) == "Yes")
          src << "You have three minutes."
          sleep(2400)
        if(src.dead)
          src.Move(locate(src.GX, src.GY, src.GZ))
          // other stuff
