Session was being played on Survivor mode, build 41 beta.
Had a laceration on my arm and on my leg, was jogging away from a small mob that noticed me, trying to find a safer spot that I could rip my clothing to bandage myself.
Decided to move closer to the woods edge, then circle around in between two trees, was jogging with shift.
Then suddenly there was a crushing sound, like the one it happens when you get damaged, and boom, my character yelled and death animation happened, then the "dead - high risk of becoming rat food" or something like that showed up as a status.
I think I might have bumped onto a tree? Not really sure. I didn't had enough damage, was still into slight I believe, didn't check the health status more than a quick peek after being damaged. Death was instant.
The lacerations happened due to a zombie that latched onto me from behind.
