      It's possible to have higher maximum health than actual health (see MC-16345) because the helth doesn't adequately update server-side when an attribute stops being applied.

      In this state, when the player takes more damage than its max health, the client will show the death screen. However, since the maximum health has not actually been updated yet on the server side, the player doesn't die server-side. When the player then clicks "Respawn", the game continues as if the player hadn't died.

      This is a client-server desync where on the client-side, the player dies, but server-side, it doesn't.

      To reproduce

      1. Place a wither rose
      2. Switch into survival mode
      3. Give yourself this item: 
        /give @p dirt{AttributeModifiers:[{AttributeName:"generic.max_health",Name:"generic.max_health",Amount:20d,Operation:0,UUID:[I;0,1,2,3],Slot:"mainhand"}]}
      4. Select the dirt block
      5. Run this command to fill your health: 
        /effect give @p minecraft:instant_health 1 3
      6. Deselect the dirt block
      7. Walk into the wither rose
        → You die immediately (because the server sends to the client "decrease health by 20 because max health changed")
        → On the death screen, you continue to take damage
      8. Click "Respawn"
        → You don't respawn, but are still at the same location as if nothing happened

      These actions can also cause this bug from being triggered, apart from being damaged by a wither rose:

      • Instant health effect
      • Instant damage effect
      • Poison effect
      • Suffocation
      • Drowning
      • Starvation (Hunger)
      • Hitting a wall with elytra
