The Bug:

Entities that die outside of simulation distance remain frozen in the death animation.

Steps to Reproduce:

• Set your simulation distance to "2 chunks".
• Summon a singular villager and run the following command multiple times in order to spawn lots more.

• /execute at @e[type=minecraft:villager] run summon minecraft:villager

• Ensure from this point forward that you do not move.
• Increase the villagers' movement speed by a great amount.

• /effect give @e[type=minecraft:villager] minecraft:speed 999 255 true

• Wait around a minute for the villagers to exit your simulation distance.
• Kill all villagers.

• /kill @e[type=minecraft:villager]

• Look around the edge of your simulation distance radius.

Observed Behavior:

Entities that die outside of simulation distance remain frozen in the death animation.

Expected Behavior:

Entities that die outside of simulation distance would not remain frozen in their death animations. The models of the deceased entities should be no longer visible as they have died.
