Am not sure if reproducable (as I haven't died since), but this is a basic step by step of what happened.
1. Gather some gear, (doesn't matter what, but I had l33t stuff).
2. Move to somewhere you'll remember (centre of Zeleno where I was).
3. Get shot & die (while firing back).
4. Toss toys.
5. Sob quietly.
6. Walk away from computer for the course of the movie "The Family", leaving it on YOU ARE DEAD screen.
6. Return to computer, quit DayZ and turn it off.
7. Come back the following day, join a different server.
8. OMG YES! *Won't be reporting THIS one as a bug*
9. End up reporting the bug anyway, because #bayta.
