UE 4.25....one Anim notify plays audio event twice

Question

Hey all, I am facing this issue: when my player character dies, the death animation plays once but the audio event (ak event) plays twice

I am using 1 anim notify to trigger the event at 0 frames on the death animation. I tried putting the anim notify on Frame 1, 2 and 3 but it's still playing twice about less than a second apart.

This method works fine with other animations like attacking, getting hit etc. Only the death anim is not working. Any help is appreciated. btw I am using WWISE 2019.2.6 and UE 4.25
