Best way to have NPC drop dead onspawn?

I’ve been trying to get something working that requires an NPC to drop dead right after spawn and have failed at every attempt. I imagine that there may be a few ways to go about this and I’m trying to figure out what may be best. It wouldn’t require any special effects or anything, just the simple appearance of it already being dead once a player sees it (but would require that it had every effect of the dead NPC such as drag body, loot and all of that good stuff). I have started to think that I may require a blueprint graph but have no experience with them at all. If anyone has any suggestions or ideas please let me know and Ill try it out. Thank you in advance.

Have you tried setting their hp recovery rate to massively negative?
