Need help with my respawn script

[Zone]

when our character falls off a platform it keeps the velocity at which it fell, taking the character off the platform once again.

Here is the script.

//dying
static var dead = false;

//function OnControllerColliderHit(hit : ControllerColliderHit) // onTriggerEnter l collider
function OnTriggerEnter(hit : Collider)
{
if(hit.gameObject.tag == “fallout”)
{
dead = true;
//subtracts lives here
HealthControlv2.LIVES -= 1;
}
}
function LateUpdate()
{
if(dead)
{
transform.position = Vector3(0, 2, 0);
gameObject.Find(“Main Camera”).transform.position = Vector3(0, 2, 0);
dead = false;
}
}

function OnCollisionEnter(hit : Collider)
{
if(hit.gameObject.tag == “fallout”)
{
dead = true;
//subtracts lives here
HealthControlv2.LIVES -= 1;
}
}

You need to set the velocity of the rigidbody to 0,0,0
