Players can still continue eating or drinking potions after death.

My friend Stephen had a heart condition. One day, while he was playing Minecraft with me, he was about to be burned to death by lava. So, he drank his only Fire Resistance Potion—a gift from his mother, which made it extremely precious. But he was still a step too late; Stephen was engulfed in flames before he could finish drinking the potion completely. However, after his death, even though he had long since released his right mouse button, his entity kept on drinking the Fire Resistance Potion. That precious treasure was thus poured into his cold, lifeless body. Stephen was furious, and in his intense agitation, he triggered a heart attack and sadly passed away. I hope Mojang can fix this bug—not only to fulfill user requests, but also as the best tribute to my departed friend Stephen.
