Double death and recovery

I was in Berezino showing my friend a demo of the game. I found a submachine gun and tried it out on a few zombies then told him that you should never fire a gun in a town because it not only alerts nearby zombies but other players as well. I had checked for zombies before entering so I thought it was ok but I was wrong lol! I ran through the north supermarket and went prone in the back to show him how you can lose zombies without shooting by losing line of sight and when I went back to the front to see if there was anything nice I got head shot from the top floor of the tallest hotel across the road. It of course scared the crap out of me since I had just been up that hotel however I just restarted as we all have many times lol. When my screen loaded my character passed out randomly (the longest one you get when you alt+f4 while bleeding) and I also noticed that I had a gun for some reason! When I got up (I wasn't bleeding) I looked at my inventory and saw that I had all my gear from a previous server crash! Not only that but I also was right next to the 3 barns south of the supermarket so of course I sprinted north across the field and took cover behind the market. Two doors were open and I remember that they were both closed so I figured that the guy came in from the back to loot my body. I entered from the back, turned the corner, and saw someone prone on the ground bleeding so I shot him twice with my Winchester but he didn’t move. On walked forward and realized he was dead! Now it was possible that a third person was involved who could have just heard my shots so I sprinted to the front in hopes of surprising them off guard. There was no one there so I went prone behind the counter near where my previous body was. I looted my Alice pack and tried to grab as many tools from my corpse as I could while my friend was freaking out behind me to hurry and get the heck out of there! I crouched, turned around, and ran out the back of the supermarket and never saw the third person.

Although it is possible that the person prone in the back could have been killed by zombies I think that is highly unlikely solely because he died with his rifle out while he had plenty of sidearm ammo left. Now whether he was the one who shot me or just another unlucky survivor is entirely disputable. I do believe however that he was the one who shot me solely because no one took any of the good stuff I had on me which leads me to believe that the third person saw my killer enter the back of the building and ambushed him from behind only to leave through the other end of the back of the supermarket without knowledge that my body was even there. That would at least explain why two doors were opened when they were shut when I died.
