I died to an iron golem at about coordinates -15 83 -966, respawned at -22 93 -965 and would not have gone further in any direction away than -3 94 -973 when I returned to the point about 15 seconds later only the armour I was wearing and the shield in my offhand were on the ground, all items in my hot bar and inventory (including diamond armour and netherite) were gone. After copying the world and summoning entities to myself to check if the items were still in the world I found that they had been destroyed completely. I died pushed towards a dirt block with 2 dirt blocks above a pit below me.
