The respawn at your corpse option I believe, asked you three times if you want to do so, before it lets you, just in case.
Someone who shall rename nameless, who is totally not me, it was uh... my buddy... De..-ryl from... Canada, may have accidentally clicked the "retirement" option in the Death Realm, when they meant to respawn. Which only asks you once. Given the finality of this action, it might be a good idea to add several prompts you have to go through, so poor people like Deryl and certainly not me don't do it by mistake.
Innocent mistake, could happen to anyone, lets not be too tough on Deryl...
Done.
