How to kill and replicate into a new character?

I am having trouble creating a script that goes in a part, kills a player, and then replicates a child of the plrModel and puts it in the new torso of the living character. No portion of the code executes properly.

local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local plrModel = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild(plr.Name)
local particle = plrModel:FindFirstChild()

function onTouched(hit)
print("death test")
local human = hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
if human ~= nil then
human.Health = 0
    end
end

function touchedMe(hit)
    print("test")
    if particle ~= nil then
        print("test1")
        local newClone = particle:Clone()
        local newCharacter = game.Workspace:WaitForChild("plr.Character"):WaitForChild("UpperTorso")
        newClone.Parent = newCharacter
        print("test2")
    end
end

script.Parent.Touched:connect(onTouched)
script.Parent.Touched:connect(touchedMe)

Nothing in this script is executing. Its purpose, is to clone any particle from the PlayerModel located in ReplicatedStorage after the player dies. Do you know how I could fix it? The player is not dying.
