Spawning dead is a bug imo. I hope it’s ok to create a 2nd thread about this, since I know this does happen for characters that has not been in WvW.
1) Characer entering the game
One way it can happen, is that you get killed while your character is loading/entering the world. This has happened to me on several occasions in cursed shore. When I logged out I was standing in a village that was not under attack, alive and NOT in combat. I guess that when I login and select the character, the game let’s the npc’s hit my character while my character is still on the loading screen.
2) Character leaving the game / Swapping characters
This may also happen when you logout or swap characters. When you press ‘logout’ or ‘select character’ the game sometimes lags, so even though you were not in combat when you clicked the button, you may enter combat while the game ‘unloads’ your character.
3) Who knows what is happening
This also happened to my mule, who was NEVER in any combat. He was standing by the bank in the city, and when I logged in, he was dead.
