I'm not 100% what has happened so I'll try to explain it fully as this is a bulls*it bug. (Going to bullet point it)

>was combat tagged by a mob while I was having connection issues
>shortly after being tagged, my game froze for a second. I noticed that all mobs were standing still (this may be the point in which I was timed out from the server) and I could freely move around
>after about 30 seconds I was disconnected
>logged back into the server to see that I have died. However it wasn't allowing me to press re spawn.
>after going back to the title screen and re-connecting, I was then was able to re spawn at a grave yard
>after returning from the grave yard and looking within the area I died. I can not find any items or chests (this means the new death chest didn't actually work)
>I've tried relogging to see if it is just client side (there is a known minecraft bug where sometimes you can't see items that have been dropped) and I've still not been able to find the items.

I hope this covers it in enough detail for a possible fix to come out as I've lost a lot of good items. I will keep looking (I'll keep relogging every few minutes just incase the 5 minute despawn timer gets the items if they have in fact been dropped somewhere). I'll keep this up to date on if I manage to find anything.

Edit 1; it appears that the items I managed to keep after death (armor and the tool I was holding) has took a considerable amount of durability damage (a lot more than usual)

Edit 2; I've tried a series of tests to try and replicate what happened, these tests include;

>dieing from fall damage, then disconnecting rather than respawning
>let a mob kill me, then go back to title screen, relog then respawn
>hit a mob to gain a combat tag, let it hit me, then let it kill me. Then title screened it. Reconnected and respawned
>let a mob hit me, I hit the mob then disconnected

From doing these tests I have found that if you do indeed get a combat tag from a mob however you can freely disconnect without being killed after relogging (another bug maybe?). Regarding the tests I wasn't able to replicate what happened.

Too Replicate what happens Get Low on hp hit a mob, Disconnect from your internet- Done

You More then likely where registered as dying when you logged out AND When you log back in. Creeper may have blown stuff up?

( I think Creepers Can)

Happened to me one time. I was fighting a zombie and the electricity went out, and when I reconnected I lost all my stuff (except what I was holding of course) :p
Probably detected it as combat-logging?

no pvp combat is different than when fighting mobs, when you disconnect you don't always disappear instantly and during that time you can still be hit which is probably what happen here and his stuff just despawned

As you can see in the tests I take out, you're suggestion was already covered. Also, the recent changes made it so a death chest will drop regardless of if you have a chest or not (I had a chest anyway) so it would of made it impossible for a creeper to destroy the items (also, I couldn't see any creepers just before I got tagged as well as not hearing an explosion).

If you are able to replicate this bug though, please post it as it seems to have already happened a few times in the past.

There is no way that the items depsawned naturally. It took me well under the time it takes for items to depsawned to get back to the location. As well as this, while looking around I did relog every few minutes to reload the chunks making it so the respawn timer on the items kept being reset.

Sometimes when I get that respawn bug, where I can't hit respawn, I relog and "mysteriously explode". I think after 2 deaths, it breaks the items twice, and could have something to do with missing items

I didn't explode or hear any explosions but you may be on to something a out the items breaking twice. I'll have to attempt to do a few more tests but I really give up with it now.
