Figure out how many rounds of death saving throws that he had to make. Allow him at the start of the next game to make those saves without disadvantage. If he fails, he dies. If he succeeds, he lives. Hand wave away the fact that his original PC was missing from the intervening game session if he lives.This way, you at least give him the chance to have his PC live. He is more at fault than you. He charged multiple foes by himself. But this way, at least you show him that you are trying to be fair both to him, and the other players. Let the dice decide. Simple. Easy. Explain to him that you are at least trying to meet him halfway.As DM, it sucks when one makes some mistakes that lead to either PC death or PC heavy resource use. But in the long run, that can be corrected one way or another. The best part is that you are learning the rules better for the future.</blockquote>
