Or it could be done like this:
When a character dies, all of his items drop to the ground (like in DM).
But there is no corpse (unlike in DM).

This would solve OP's problem.
But if the character dies underwater or in some other dangerous area, retrieving his dropped items might be challenging.

edit:
Or a "drop all items" button/hotkey for each character.
