Weird deaths, config problem?

So for the past few weeks, whenever I see someone die, their death is really weird.
Instead of creating a ragdoll or something (Which I have turned off) they just turn in to a big bright light, and then disappear.
I think this is how someone looks when you kill them with a Laser weapon, but this is currently happening with every death.

But the thing is, I actually really like it. It doesn't take up any performance like ragdolls would, but it makes it obvious that someone has died.

If anybody could tell me what would be causing this, I'd greatly appreciate it. So I know what to use in my future configs.

Thanks!

I'm more than sure that's a death animation from a laser weapon as you suggested. I feel like it has "config problem" written all over it, but just to make sure, try verifying TF2's cache and see if that fixes it (if you ever want it fixed).

I have the same, don't know what it is, don't care either.
doesn't bother me at all, like you said, it makes it clear that someone died.

cl_ragdoll_fade_time 0
cl_ragdoll_forcefade 1
cl_ragdoll_physics_enable 0
g_ragdoll_fadespeed 0
g_ragdoll_lvfadespeed 0
ragdoll_sleepaftertime 0

This is the config to disable ragdolls pretty much. If anything is different from this, it could be a factor in it. Possibly the gibs too, if you have that turned off somewhere.

It might be server side pluggin. I play with ragdolls off so people just disappear when they die, but ive been on a few servers that have the lazer death animation on for all deaths.

I've been made aware by my friends, that this happens for all of them on my server (The server these caps were taken on).

This leads me to believe it could be server side, but I haven't installed anything to do so, and Multiplay haven't made me aware of them doing anything to it D:
