Expected Result:	Survivor living through the struggle phase, being faced with skillchecks over time.
Severity:	Major
Reproducibility:	Always
Platform:	Steam
Additional Notes & Comments:	These are technically 2 bugs, however one is most likely caused by the other (instant death of Survivor B caused by unhooking a technically dead Survivor A).

Survivor A purposefully doesn't hit 2 skillchecks in the struggle phase.
Survivor B unhooks Survivor A right after their 2nd struggle phase skillcheck fails by itself. (Very important note: survivor A doesn't have a healthbar at this point, meaning they've been technically killed by the entity on hook.)
Survivor B gets hooked for the 1st time while only 2 survivors are alive.
Survivor B attempts to unhook themselves 3 times (all attempts fail).
Survivor B gets into struggle phase.
Survivor B dies instantly after the beginning animation of the struggle phase ends.
