(See the best response by DarkCampainger.)
Code:
    Corpse
        text = "{C*{x"
        isCorpse = 1
        New(mob/M)
            owner = "[M.ClassColor][M.name][M.Reset]"
            loc = M.loc
            keywords = list("[M.name]", "corpse")
            for(var/obj/Item/A in M.contents)
                if(prob(A.dropchance) && !A.equip)
                    contents += A
                    M.contents -= A
            spawn(100)
                mb_msgout("[owner]'s corpse decays.", oview(0))
                del(src)


Problem description:

When a player dies they spawn a corpse and have a chance of dropping gear in them.. for some reason even if they aren't in the same turf but anywhere on the map it will still show that the corpse decayed.

oview() defaults to being centered on the usr (which probably ends up being the killer most of the time). You need to specify src as the second argument.
