Change Dimension on livingDeathEvent for Player???

[perigrine3]

I want to change the dimension for the player to the Nether upon death. I tried this but it didn't work. 

public class globalEvents {

     public void onDeath(livingDeathEvent event) {
          if(event.entity instanceof EntityPlayer) {
               entity.changeDimension(-1);
          }
     }
}

Please help?

How can the player teleport to the nether after he is already dead?

Please elaborate.

Perhaps you want him to respawn in the nether?

Yes, that's what I meant. I realized the difference last night. Here's what I have now:

     @SubscribeEvent
     public void onClonePlayer(PlayerEvent.Clone event) {
          if(event.wasDeath) {
               setDimensionID(-1); 
          }
     }

Is there anything wrong with this? Can I get some alternate suggestions too?
