 Description   

When you get killed by somethings its says for example: Steve got exploded by name. It always says that for an explosion or others maybe. A ghast did the same to me and it said name in the end not the ghast name.

Does this bug still appear in 0.13.1? If so please respond.

Confirmed on Samsung Galaxy S4 Android 5.0.1 MCPE 0.11.1. Killing myself with TNT in survival single player displayed the message "Steve was blown up by name" I expected it to say "Steve was blown up by Steve" or "Steve was blown up by himself" or "Steve blew himself up".

I also tested being killed by mobs in single player and those death messages all correctly identify the mob. I.e. "Steve was blown up by a creeper".

Not yet tested in survival multiplayer.
