The way I would do it is make the player into a prefab. Make an empty gameobject where you want to player to respawn. Then add a script like this to the object that triggers the player death:

      public GameObject carl;
      public Transform spawnPoint;
     
     void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other)
     {
         if (other.tag == "Carl")
         {
             Destroy(other.gameObject);
             StartCoroutine("Respawn", 5f);
         }
     }
     
     IEnumerator Respawn(float spawnDelay)
     {
         yield return new WaitForSeconds(spawnDelay);
         Instantiate (carl, spawnPoint.position, spawnPoint.rotation);
     }

You see, when the player hits the trigger I destroy the player and respawn him from a prefab, using the IEnumerator. If you need to player to keep data then instead of destroying him you can just disable his gameobject in the trigger event, and then re-enable it in the IEnumerator.

"if you need the player to keep data then instead of destroying him you can just disable his game object in the trigger event, and then re-enable it in the IEnumerator". Can you please explain with same example. Thank you.
