This just happened to me as well when I was mining about 12 blocks above bedrock and when I went to answer a text, the game crashed. This caused me to restart Minecraft, which is when I spawned in the sky somewhere random. It seemed as if not all the chunks had loaded either as there were was just blue sky and black blotches here and there. I fell to my death losing my inventory. It would not let me respawn after that. I had to restart Minecraft again and it spawned me on top of my spawn point with no inventory.
