[Switch] Internet Outage caused death by suffocation on realm resulting in myself losing tons of hard work and xp

I was playing on my friend's Minecraft realm with two other people today. I was riding my horse next to a big obsidian structure filled with lava, and the internet happened to go out. My switch flat out froze. After about 30 seconds, when my internet came back on, I was still connected to the realm, but was greeted by a Nintendo "Looks like there was a communication error" and then the "You Died!" message and the regular landscape in the background. (not in the lava pool or anything, just where I was when it froze) When I respawned at my base, I saw the chat message say I had died by suffocation... we went back to where I died but could not find a single thing. This was incredibly frustrating; my internet went out for 30 seconds and instead of kicking me from the realm I lost my full netherite armor/tools with especially good enchantments, as well as my horse and 50 levels of xp... no screenshots because my switch had run out of screenshot space. This is incredibly annoying and I don't know what I would have done if I had more valuable items with my (ex. Elytras or netherite blocks)
