This issue was first reported in the very much unresolved and updated MC-264707. I decided to allow only 3 of my villagers to leave their home and see why they were disappearing I named them Anthony, Sally, and Joe. Prior to this I witnessed two adult and 1 baby villager fling themselves off from a high enough place to cause fall damage, but not high enough to die from in one fall. Well, the villagers for some reason decided once was not enough and went out of their way to return to the initial location of which they first jumped and jump off again repeatedly. Poor Sally for whatever reason decided to do this apparently as well and did so sometime after waking up. I'm not totally sure, but have some suspicion that the adult villagers are interrupting their work to do this. I noticed the baby villager stopped jumping on beds to do this strange behavior. I checked the logs after noticing Sally wasn't in their bed and it said they hit the ground too hard
My village is pretty spaced out and is completely enclosed now after discovering multiple villagers were wondering out to sea and choosing never to come back. I fear the villagers that are furthest away and never interact with the main part of the village are choosing to path find to the central location just to die because some of them have gone missing. Pease check the updates to MC-264707 please.

Poor Sally. I attached a screenshot of her old bed. Asking me to attach a screenshot of this horrifying behavior occurring is unreasonable because taking a screenshot would require me to know when it's about to happen. It is a very rare occurrence in my game. I have a feeling this problem will not be further looked into. If anyone's villagers are disappearing, try removing all blocks over a 3 block height or more practically try placing a fence around entrances to the villagers doors to their houses to keep them from choosing death.
This could duplicate MC-153904
So after initially reporting this issue I tried to see if I could purposefully cause my villagers to despawn somehow. I went to the nether, the end, and went on an expedition in the over world and I had 1 named axolotal disappear with no explanation in my logs. The villagers were all accounted for though. So I believe I have found out the cause of why my villagers were disappearing-they were making however many jumps necessary to die. I have not confirmed, but still believe that the villagers furthest away from the center of the village were purposefully pathfinding their way to a particular ledge so they could die. It would be one thing if the villagers are getting stuck in a loop and keep jumping from a high place, but that unfortunately wouldn't explain why my group of isolated villagers (furthest from the center of the village) suddenly decided to interact with the main part of the village for the first time and coincidentally died that same day.
Please attach a screenshot of this occurring while the F3 debug screen is enabled.
