spawn actor making too many?

Hello,
When my player actor falls off the screen, I have a Destroy Actor rule with a follow up Spawn Actor at start point. Also, my player character is several actors (main body, arms, and legs) that are attached to each other.*
The problem:
When the player character (which is four actors) re-spawns there seems to be duplicates of the body. It is only visible when in motion.
Do you think this is an issue of using several actors to create the player character, or an issue with Spawn Actor?
*There is one invisible actor that has all the collision and rules. Then there is an attribute for tracking position. The body, arms and legs, which have the animations, are linked so that their position is the same as the invisible actor.

On further thought, this is also what I'm doing now, but in the actual game the player will die and restart the level. So maybe I am worrying about a non-incidental anyways.
I was just wondering if others were have multi-spawn. Since it is likely that I will need to spawn actors in the future for other events, missiles or the like.
Right now there is an actor below the screen that activates the Destroy Actor upon collision. I'm thinking of replacing that with a if Y position is < 0 destroy actor.
But that maybe another post.
More to think about.
Blimey, this drag and drop programming is trickier than I thought.
