I want to understand you better. If you go into a zone and see a corpse do you leave because the zone musta been camped by that person? Do you see if they're online and then send a tell to ask if you are allowed to kill the full pop in front of you? Help me understand how to fit in.

Here is two indisputable facts from your post; you saw his corpse, he came back and said he died. Everquest is a big place, and instead of taking him at his word and discussing options, you tried to snake your way around these two points so you could take the camp. I don't care if P99 says you're in the right, it's not about that. Maybe everything you said was 100% true, but there is insufficient evidence. It's your word against his; you're an asshole for starting an argument and taking the camp, and he's an asshole for deciding to killsteal in an attempt to take it back. Instead of coming to an arrangement that both of you could profit from, both of you would rather screw each other over and play victim so you can get what's "yours". P99 in a nutshell.
A major component of this issue is that the rules state you lose the camp even if you die. This is problematic, because it's a recipe for instigating arguments like this one. Everyone has been in a similar situation before, as it's one that could easily apply to the real world, too (minus fantasy death, pedants). Rules don't forgive selfish behavior, and that, generally speaking, reasonable people would either offer it (whatever "it" is) back up as a courtesy, or come to an agreement in another way, but because this is the internet, you're free to be a cunt all day as long as you aren't doing anything serious.
Neither of you are innocent, and therefore neither of you deserve any pity. He's actually in a better position than you, though, because he didn't come to a troll forum to cry about it looking for justification for his own shitpoor actions and attitude.
