misc_dead_hev is a point entity available in 
Black Mesa.
They are the HEV scientists found dead in Xen. Their suit will flash a ping light, attracting the player, then giving the player's suit charge. This entity is basically a prop_ragdoll but with the ability to charge the player's suit. You can also change the sprite color of the ping light via Hammer.
Tip:If you create a map for Black Mesa there player is not HEV/PCV guy - use sk_dead_hev_battery_value 0 cvar to prevent charge.
Note:For the original model from multiplayer you can change the skin of the scientist's face under the helmet, but the player will not see it unless they clip inside of it. Model hev_male_xen use skins that change text for sign on the back (the text is names of the game developers).
Bug:
- Ragdoll's gibs does not gibbing before save load since the first Steam version.
- Original models use blood overlay for hands, because of this, when player’s hands get blood overlay - dead hev scientists will get the same blood overlay. Works in singleplayer and multiplayer.
- Crowbar's raycast skip/ignore server side ragdolls since the first Steam version.
- In multiplayer of Black Mesa, ragdolls does not create hole decals and blood from bullets if
[4] Debrisspawnflag is enabled. If this flag is disabled - ragdolls still will not create blood effects and hand blood overlays. - Tripmines does not gib ragdolls.
- The ping sprite often render through world geometry and model if a dead scientist HEV is visible for VVIS.
