Hunk is Alive (Easter egg)

Me and my friend presumed and thought why they would kill Hunk during the boss fight in Re9, I thought he was still alive and my mate said imagine if u go back and his body is gone.

So I did, I replayed the boss and defeated Hunk, I then went up the stairs and through to the end of the hallway to the door but didn't open it to start the cutscene, I then went back and his body had DISAPPEARED!

Could be the game despawing his body but I highly doubt it considering this is Hunk we are talking about.
