My friend and I were playing on our realm, I had just made a trident farm and gave him a trident. Then, it became stormy, and we decided to use the trident (Enchantments: Loyalty, Channeling, Mending, Unbreaking) to get a charged Creeper, and its head. After 3 attempts, a Zombie killed my friend, directly after he threw his trident. It disappeared, and a Zombie didn't pick it up.

Theory: Since the Trident has Channeling, and he threw it as he died. he didn't have time to pick it up, so the lightning destroyed the Trident

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Get any Trident
2. Give it Channeling and Loyalty and set the weather to "thunder"
3. have any mob attack you, preferably zombie. (For more accurate testing)
4. wait until 2 hearts, get close to the mob (not too close) and throw the Trident (you should die)
5. Trident Disappears.

What I expected:

I expected my friend to die, just not to lose the trident
