In the default SDK player.cpp code, the CBasePlayer::Killed() function sets the animation to PLAYER_DIE, sets pev->deadflag = DEAD_DYING, then sets up a Think function (PlayerDeathThink). CBasePlayer::PlayerDeathThink() will advanced the animation frames as long as pev->deadflag == DEAD_DYING (or until the animation sequence has ended, m_fSequenceFinished == 0). Once the animation finishes, the pev->deadflag is set to DEAD_DEAD (indicating the player is really dead and the animation is complete). If you aren't setting pev->deadflag = DEAD_DYING, then the animation in PlayerDeathThink() will not play.
