Hello, I want to share my experience and ask to pay attention to this issue:
I have hired companion with a high medicine skill, I gave her one of the best equipment - full cost was around 1 million dennars. She has died in the first battle (we all know, that chance of death is increased in the last patches), so I lost companion and the equipment what I gave her. I think it is not fair, there should be possibility to loot dead companion when he/she dies in your party, in the battle where you won. I think this is much more logical than not having possibility to loot them. Fyi companions die very often, they can't even survive 10 big battles and can you imagine how much equipment you are losing during the game for nothing? (Also, if you don't give them equipment, they will die in their first battle).
