If you die, you shouldn't "automatically" be sent to prison, the system shouldn't be like that, logically speaking if you are dead, then you start a new life, you don't get sent to jail.
Maybe instead of being sent to jail, get sent to the morgue, or get sent to the Hospital, and paying $500 or something to bring you back alive again, as death fee, and when you're alive you still have wanted, with below 50% of Health and abit dizzy, so you're still not evading cops, and it gives you a disadvantage because you tried evading cop with death/ or accidental death.
It gets balanced like that, that way we can use the Cure and heal system at the hospital, but it's disabled for criminals above a 4 Star level.
Just think this one through please.
