You can set the player's health to 0 by using:
void SetPlayerHealth(float afHealth);
You can set up a checkpoint that calls a function when you die. Put in a mapchange into that function.
void CheckPoint (string& asName, string& asStartPos, string&asCallback, string& asDeathHintCat, string& asDeathHintEntry);
Sets a checkpoint at which the player will respawn in case he dies.
Callback syntax: void MyFunc(string &in asName, int alCount)
Count is 0 on the first checkpoint load!
asName - the internal name
asStartPos - the name of the StartPos in the editor
asCallback - the function to call when the player dies/respawns
asDeathHintCat - the category of the death hint message to be used in the .lang file
asDeathHintEntry - the entry in the .lang file
AND
void ChangeMap(string& asMapName, string& asStartPos, string& asStartSound, string& asEndSound);
Immediatly loads another map.
asMapName - the file to load
asStartPos - the name of the StartPos on the next map
asStartSound - the sound that is played when the change starts
asEndSound - the sound that is played when the new map is loaded
I can come up with three more possible ways to script this, but using checkpoints is probably the best way.

Well, it's the script you have to use.

Callback syntax for checkpoints: void MyFunc(string &in asName, int alCount)
So you'll have to put your ChangeMap(string& asMapName, string& asStartPos, string& asStartSound, string& asEndSound); into MyFunc.

MyFunc or whatever you are going to call it is the callback. That function should call the ChangeMap.
.
void CheckPoint (string& asName, string& asStartPos, string&asCallback, string& asDeathHintCat, string& asDeathHintEntry);
asCallback - the function to call when the player dies/respawns
So, when you die, a function will be called, lets call it MyFunc.
That function has the callback syntax (string &in asName, int alCount)
void MyFunc(string &in asName, int alCount)
{
// Put everything here that you want to happen after death
ChangeMap(string& asMapName, string& asStartPos, string& asStartSound, string& asEndSound);
}
