FORT-954743 has been created and its status is ‘Unconfirmed’. This is now in a queue to be reproduced and confirmed.

Also experiencing this issue, appears to be a new issue as I built a map several months ago which has npc’s with custom death effects and it never behaved this way. Revisiting it this weekend now the npc model will stay on the screen frozen for several seconds while the death effect plays.
