Character suddenly dying when switching weapons.

What happened:

My friend was laying in the grass, passing the time having a quite controversial conversation with other people on the server. Once he decided to move, and switch weapons while laying down on the ground, all his bones were shattered and he instantly passed away.

He is quite upset about this, since he had been alive for around 10 days, racking up good gear, and plentiful a kill.

We are not sure whether this was a bug, or if an admin on the server slayed him. If the logs could be accessed and his cause of death could be examined, we'd be very happy.

This just happened to me. I was in a barn with zero mobs around me and no players. I hit the search the body to take the different weapon (CZ550). BAM, dead.

I know nobody was in there as I cleared out the area. No shots just dead. I realize this is an alpha but very frustrating to do nothing wrong and yet lose all that effort!

I was playing on a US Chicago server 8pm EDT.
