I had something similar happen; fought a lava elemental down and it ran thru the lava column. OOCd I was fighting the mob and just waiting for it to path to me so I could finish it off. Unfortunately I noticed it's hp start dropping and it died / I got xp. Someone else had finished it off. I managed to get it on /target but couldn't /loot. After 2 minutes the corpse disappeared.
Basically someone killed the fleeing mob then looted it.
I petitioned it immediately saying I was looking for a Runed Lava Pendant. One of the staff looked into the issue and let me know the mob didn't drop anything of interest that time.
I had something similar happen in LGuk. Some people will just snipe your fleeing mobs and hope you don't find the corpse within 2 minutes.
