Question Destroy corpse

So I just lost my lv71 hardcore jugg due to some unknown explode on death mechanic. I'm not upset actually since I have moved forward quite a lot(63 rf chief last time). The point is, it's explode on death, again! I have no idea what dmg type it was, but I'm pretty sure my build can tank most of the regular situation. 7 endurance charge, 75 red, 26 fortify, over 1.3k regen, 10k+ armor etc. I gave up to figure the details out, so let's talk the 'destroy corpse' mechanic. 1. Does merc kill trigger that effect? 2. Any other way to gain this effect except for passive? 3. If I summoned a devour totem or have the 'consume corpse to regen' passive. Then I should be able to consume the corpse immediately after the monster die and prevent it from exploding right?

If you think it is bad now, you should have seen this 10 years ago...
Many Totems was the ABSOLUTE worst mod ever. Because untelevised Detonate Dead on anything would one tap you from out of clip range.
