[MC-296693] Mob POV Effect Persists After Death via /kill in Spectator Mode

Steps to Reproduce:

Enter Spectator mode (/gamemode spectator).
Spectate a mob (enter its POV).
Use the /kill command to die.
- Note: This bug does not occur if you die naturally (e.g., from TNT).
(Optional) Switch to another gamemode and then back to Spectator.

Expected Behavior:
After respawning, the mob’s POV visual effect should be removed.

Actual Behavior:
The mob’s POV effect remains applied even after death and respawn.
Switching gamemodes does not clear the effect.
The only way to remove it is by exiting and re-entering the world.
