“My user interface disappeared after I heard a dieing sound”

This is a bug of the game, called “client death”. “Client death” is when you hear your own death scream, your user interface disappears, but you can still move (from a technical point of view, the player dies on your computer, but it doesn't die on the server, so the server doesn't clean your inventory, respawn and fine a death point on the scoreboard).

When happened, just press “Esc” button on your keyboard, it will show the main menu, then return to the game. Your interface should appear again. Don't pay attention to your “dead” body — the bug will go as soon as you're injured.
