Why doesn't Humanoid.HealthChanged work after death?

In my game, I have a health bar BillboardGui. Here is the hierarchy. So here is the code in the Script:

repeat wait() until script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Name == "Head"
local char = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent
local h = char.Humanoid
local max = h.MaxHealth
local f = script.Parent
local bar = f.Bar
script.Parent.PlayerName.Text = char.Name
script.Parent.Parent.Adornee = char.Head
wait(1)
h.HealthChanged:connect(function()
	bar:TweenSize(UDim2.new(0.9 / max * h.Health, 0, 0.4, 0), "Out", "Bounce", 1)
	
	if h.Health > (3/5 * max) then
		f.Bar.BackgroundColor3 = Color3.new(0, 255, 0)
	end
	if h.Health <= (3/5 * max) then
		f.Bar.BackgroundColor3 = Color3.new(255, 255, 0)
	end
	if h.Health <= (2/5 * max) then
		f.Bar.BackgroundColor3 = Color3.new(255,141,1)
	end
	if h.Health <= (1/5 * max) then
		f.Bar.BackgroundColor3 = Color3.new(255,0,0)
	end
end)

My problem is this: when the player dies, the health bar goes to zero. That's good. However, what's not good is that after the player dies, the health bar doesn't go back up to 100. Instead, it stays red and at zero. Why is this so, and how can I fix this? I have a theory already that it's because every time the player dies, the Humanoid is removed, but I don't know how to get around this.

Try Changed instead of health changed

@incapaz Changed isn't an event of Humanoid. See this link: https://wiki.roblox.com/index.php?title=API:Class/Humanoid

You should disconnect the event adter it reaches 0

I had a really similar issue. And you want to make sure that ResetOnSpawn is ENABLED. If this affects your intro or whatsoever, simply add a LocalScript into StarterCharacter and check if the intro is running, if it is then wait a certain amount of time before continuing, else just make the element visible or enabled the GUI.

This may fix your issue if not please comment.

What is ResetOnSpawn and how do I enable it?

It's a property in ScreenGui

Even after enabling it for my BillboardGui, http://prntscr.com/jteed5  that's after I reset.
