Exact same thing happened to me and friends today. One of my friends died in a cave, I saw her stuff and even picked up a bit of it. A few seconds later, I also died in said cave (no creepers or anything in sight, so the items couldn't have been destroyed). My other friend was there immediately to pick up my stuff, however over 90% of it was just gone. I was back in less than a minute and sure enough, my stuff (along with my friends stuff) was just gone.
This was on a server that I had set up for just my friends and I. It looks like that's the common issue here, right? From the other comments, it looks like this bug is consistently happening on servers/realms.
