Curse of Generosity

[munchkinthief]

We have just had an argument about this curse I would like someone to please clarify.

The curse basically states the munchkin being cursed has to give one small item in play to each other players. If no items are left then each player can take a random 2 cards each until none are left.

Now, I died on my previous turn, so fresh new set of cards given to me once i died, which I can not play until my next turn.

My turn came up, then I was given this curse straight away.

My argument is that I was dead until I place my cards down on the table and therefore I should be given the chance to put my cards down before the curse could take affect.

The other player said everyone was to have 2 cards each from my hand as I had none in play.

Can someone please help me with settling this.
