The "Zombie Arms" Glitch

Basically, sometimes when you're killed (usually by another player) in a survival world, the character's arms will be straight out as if they're holding a bow. Because of this, my friends and I have dubbed the bug "zombie arms." It's not exactly new, and I'm sure other people have experienced this too. I thought they fixed it, but I guess not. I encountered the glitch for the first time in a while today.
