my head hurts.
But what if he has to go back 5 times before he's able to save her? The first 4 times he went back to present day (when she died) she'd still be dead, because he hadn't done anything during that trip to alter the future. And the first time, he wasn't even around the day she died.
If your assumption is that because he will eventually do something on the 5th trip, then we wouldn't have seen her die in the first place.
Think Biff and Sports Almanac. Different divergent futures were created each time he did something
