Hello.

Today I was in a pit I dug and a polar bear fell in and killed me.  All my inventory and gear ended up on the ground, so I went to pick it up and died again.  This happened several times and I always got everything back, except that night fell and I got into bed and once back in the pit there was nothing!  I don't understand because the other day I went for a walk and I came across some articles that I had lost during a death a week ago.
Can you explain to me why?  In addition I had just built lots of objects including an iron pickaxe.
Thanks in advance.
