I was disconnected at the time, and my friends were also disconnected in MC at the same time. You can check my records. At that time, I had just shot a gorilla in the wild and was in good condition, but I was disconnected and died when I logged in again. I didn't have time to take photos, I only had pictures of death
No server side issues were found. If you had a video recording of this connection issue it could prove the claims but we have no proof and don't see any network wide connection issues either. We in fact don't see your client disconnecting until 9.5 minutes after the death.
(keeping in mind socket connections can remain open even after you drop, but we have no evidence of the DC)
