[MC-182791] You are still alive if your max health is 0

The Bug

When your max health is set to 0, you don't die directly. This is caused by MC-16345.

Additionally, when you take damage, you die twice. This is MC-19690.

How to Reproduce

/attribute @s minecraft:generic.max_health base set 0
→ ❌ You are still alive, with one heart
Take damage and die
Click respawn
→ ❌ You are resurrected at the same location as you died, now with half a heart (MC-19690)
Die again
→ ✔ You now respawn properly

Observed Behavior

Players remain alive when their "minecraft:generic.max_health" attribute is set to "0".

Expected Behavior

Players would die and not remain alive when their "minecraft:generic.max_health" attribute is set to "0".

i dont think you are suposed to set that to 0, cuz what you are doing is making it so you constaly die, because you have no health

I wonder if this relates to a different bug where modifying the generic.max_health attribute in a certain way really fast and giving the player instant damage could cause the player to "die", get a fake respawn screen, and get stuck in the death animation. This is MC-19690 I am mentioning if that helps.

Duplicate of MC-19690.

Not quite. It's very closely related, but I believe the core issue here is that the player doesn't die as soon as max health is set to 0.
