I don't know if this is something new from the patch, or if this is older, but a google search didn't turn up anything quite like this.

Certain dead bodies are causing a bug where my character instantly dies upon contact with them. Returning to the location of the death and touching the same body reproduces the bug and the character dies again.

It has happened with a shaleback and a dafari so far. I was traveling with animals both times (a tiger when the shaleback corpse killed me and an elephant when the dafari corpse killed me.)
