Mobs don't drop anything when killed by lightning

When lightning strikes, any nearby items are instantly deleted. This means that mobs killed by lightning will not drop their items, which includes turtles dropping bowls.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Enter a world in creative
2. Obtain turtle spawn egg from the inventory
3. Obtain a channeling trident
4. Place some turtles in an area
5. Run the command /weather thunder
6. Throw the trident at one of the turtles
7. Notice how none of the turtles dropped anything

Expected outcome:

Lightning wouldn't destroy items that mobs drop so that we can get special drops such as the turtle's bowl

Observed outcome:

Lightning destroys items, meaning any mob killed by lightning won't drop anything.
