Respawn character

I want to make a character respawn after 5 seconds dead. 
public boolean death()
    {
        if(isTouching(Trap.class))
        {
            World myWorld = getWorld();
            myWorld.removeObject(this);
            myWorld.addObject(this, myWorld.getWidth()/2,myWorld.getHeight()/5);
            
            return true;
        } 
        return false;
    }
I'm using this code, is there a way to make the character be added in the world 5 seconds after been removed? I've tried setLocation(-1000, -1000) + sleepFor(250), to send him away and make him wait but it didn't work as intended

One simple way to handle it is by creating a new type of Actor for the dead ones: 
import greenfoot.*;

public class Coffin extends Actor
{
    private Actor deceased;
    int timer;
    
    public Coffin(Actor actor, int seconds) {
        World world = actor.getWorld();
        world.addObject(this, 0, 0);
        world.removeObject(actor);
        deceased = actor;
        timer = seconds*60;
        setImage((GreenfootImage)null);
    }
    
    public void act() {
        if (--timer == 0) {
            int w = getWorld().getWidth();
            int h = getWorld().getHeight();
            getWorld().addObject(deceased, w/2, h/2);
            getWorld().removeObject(this);
        }
    }
}

Unless your world is unbounded (which, currently, it is not), you will not be able to place objects (totally) outside the world. See documentation of World class constructors. With the class above, your death method would be something like this: 
public boolean death() {
    if (isTouching(Trap.class)) {
        new Coffin(this, 5);
        return true;
    }
    return false;
}
None of this was not tested, but should world. If not, it should lead you to a solution.
