How do I make the code wait until animation has ended?

Hello!
How can I make for example a death animation play out, and make the code pause until the animation has ended?

I want to play out the animation, and afterwards teleport it back to the spawn.

Here’s my code:

void OnCollisionEnter(Collision other)
	{
		if (other.transform.tag == "Enemy") 
			Die();
	}

	void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other)
	{
		if (other.transform.tag == "Goal") 
		{
			GameManager.CompleteLevel();
		}
	}

	void Die()
	{
		//animation.Play ("PlayerDeath");

		Instantiate(deathParticles, transform.position, Quaternion.Euler (270,0,0));
		transform.position = spawn;

		rigidbody.Sleep();
		rigidbody.AddForce (0, -5, 0);
	}
}

Thank you in advance!

I don’t know about the rest of your code, but the animation can return the amount of time the animation clip is. You can start a coroutine with that time for that named animation(PlayerDeath);

void OnCollisionEnter(Collision other)
{
	if (other.transform.tag == "Enemy") 
		StartCoroutine(Die());
}

void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other)
{
	if (other.transform.tag == "Goal") 
	{
		GameManager.CompleteLevel();
	}
}

IEnumerator Die()
{
	animation.Play ("PlayerDeath");
    // optionally by name
    // float animationLength = animation["PlayerDeath"].clip.length
    // yield return new WaitForSeconds(animationLength);

	yield return new WaitForSeconds(animation.clip.length);

	Instantiate(deathParticles, transform.position, Quaternion.Euler (270,0,0));
	transform.position = spawn;

	rigidbody.Sleep();
	rigidbody.AddForce (0, -5, 0);
}
