every creature besides people, and some other mammals though. most of the time they go off on their own a lot before death. is instinct. think about this. the survival of the group depended on not having a corpse laying in the living area, attracts disease and other animals to the corpse. so instinctually it made sense to distance yourself to die away from the group, the instinct is even present in many people, but the emotional and logical aspects cloud our instincts like many other things do as well.
