forge 1.18.1-39.0.8, alex's mobs 1.15.1

just watched a raccoon steal an item from a wandering trader (which is pretty hilarious, btw, since it aggros the llamas), but it looks like on death the item disappears with the raccoon, rather than getting dropped. is this intentional? i worry because if raccoons can steal player items, i'd want to be able to recover them.

Can confirm, any item held by raccoon is destroyed when they die making them unrecoverable
