I doubt it does it on purpose. Dying takes a lot out of you. From what I can tell, others who've lost theirs seem to have gained it back little by little.
Hardly the first time I died, don't see why this time it's gotta be such a big deal. Ah well, if people have gotten theirs back before, I guess that's promising enough for now.
