I was playing Logan Ackerman, level 9 sorcerer with mesmerizing perk. I died to a drow trap which did 97 sonic damage and was sent to the fugue. When I used the conversation option to respawn to where the corpse was, the corpse got deleted but my character dropped back into the fugue with all her health gone and still lost the 1/3 XP leaving me with this:

Logan's corpse was in Rallick Dess' inventory where it was deleted upon respawn attempt.
Actually it was in Gylin Allinsk's inventory if that makes any difference. >_>
Was the player online, logged of, crashed, in transition or anything in between when it happened?
I'm fairly sure Gylin Allinsk was online and stationary, but CondorHero would be able to answer for certain.
EDIT: I was sent back to my spawn in Sanctuary at Server reset.
I was transitioning out of the explorable. Yup. I loaded in and got the message that the corpse was gone
That could explain it. There was no clear location at that very moment for you to spawn at, probably.
Find a DM to help you with the gear matter and all, most should be able to help or get information needed to help.
