My Frog keeps killing himself after 3 seconds, anyone tell me why that is? Everything else seems fine.

Basically, the Frog disappears after 3 seconds of gameplay, I'm assuming it's the player health script... here is my script as is:

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class PlayerHealth : MonoBehaviour {

    public bool alive;
    [SerializeField]
    private GameObject pickupPrefab;

    // Use this for initialization
    void Start () {
        alive = true;
    }

    void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other) {
        if (other.CompareTag ("Enemy") && alive == true) {
            alive = false;

            // Create the pickup particles
            Instantiate (pickupPrefab, transform.position, Quaternion.identity);
        }
    }
}

Thank you,

Does it disappear no matter what you do? For example: if you keep walking around do you still have about 3 seconds gameplay? I'm guessing if it would be your PlayerHealth script that the frog would be dead within a microsecond.. or maybe you tagged the flies as "enemy" as well? just some ideas

Yeah, disappears no matter what I do after 3 seconds, even if I don't touch any flies. I'm just going to rewatch the player health video and see if that fixes it, I'll post if I find a fix just in case anyone in the future messes up like me.
