No chance that there was a player nearby, I am 15000+ blocks away from the nearest player. I think it is more likely that it was a bug or oversight than the zombie having wandered to my base by chance. There is a river surrounding it and as I mentioned before, I lost these items very far away from it, weeks ago.
I thought about that but it would just not make sense. I lost those items a great distance away from my base, and I never went far from it the minutes before encountering the zombie, I stayed within the same 4 chunks the entire time.
