There are only a few locations in the game where you can be killed. I was personally caught by the mutant at least two to three times because I was not stealthy enough or I did not understand where I was supposed to go.

In all of these instances, before I received any sort of official "Game Over" screen, I simply dashboarded and restarted the game. I did it at least twice while the mutant was in the process of grabbing Dan. Using this method you can still get the achievement, as long as you dashboard before you receive any sort of notification.

That said, here are the locations in the game where you have to be on the lookout as you face impending doom.

1. When you are hacking into Helen Nowak's mind. At a certain point you will be introduced to a lumbering mutant/cyborg creature who will be walking around looking for you. This will happen in two different office settings.

2. There will come a point in the game where you You will reach a door with an intercom that is located in a narrow corridor with cans hanging from the ceiling by strings. When you activate the intercom you will have a brief conversation with someone who will then tell you that someone is coming for you. If you turn around, you will see the mutant at the end of the hallway heading straight towards you. If you wait a few seconds, the door in front of you will "disappear" and you should run straight ahead to the next area.

3. When you are hacking into Victor Maderski's mind. About mid-way through this sequence you will come to a forested area with red camera lights in the trees. Walk through the forest and you will see a tattoo shop that you can interact with. Past the shop you will see another building and a mutant (who can kill you) will spawn in front of it and begin searching for you. Stealth around him from the side and enter the building when he isn't looking.

4. The last part is when you are investigating the Chiron Hotel at the end-game. You will reach a cell and cut through a ventilation shaft. Before leaving the ventilation shaft you will see the mutant walking around and must sneak past him and two other mutants in the three different areas. Your objective is to reach a central computer room, which upon activating, unleashes a large monster in front of you. Then you must immediately turn around and run away, cutting in and out of various ventilation shafts. Eventually you will reach an elevator and hit the button but the creature will descend upon you before the doors open (this is scripted).
