The first time he was tricked into a coffin by Set where he drowned and was found dead (but completely whole) by Isis. She used a spell taught to her by her father, the earth god Geb, to resurrect Osiris. It was at THIS point that she was impregnated and once they finished the deed Osiris died again.
Isis hid Osiris' body in the desert and several months after this Horus was born. While Isis was away raising Horus, Set was out hunting one night and discovered Osiris' body.
It is at THIS point that Set tore him into 14 pieces and scattered them across the lands. Isis did manage to find everything with the exception of the phallus and he was basically put back together in his bandages so that he could receive a proper burial.
Horus is represented as a falcon because he is the sky god.
