In Skyrim SE, Blacksmith Beirand dies when I walk into the Blue Palace to complete the quest. This has happened on every save so far. He just... vanishes from the game. His wife and son comment on his death. Very weird...

A similar thing has happened to me on the PS4. Except so far it wasn't Beirand, it was a different person on three reloads. First it was Giraud, I even received a letter of inheritance, second was Jawanan, and third Rorlund.
This happened to me at first but I think I found a fix. Turn in the quest to Falk first then give Potema's remains to Styrr. This changes his dialogue slightly when he speaks about Falk. I checked around Solitude and Beirand, Jawanan, Giraud, and Rorlund were all still alive. This was tested on PS4. Hope it helps.
He do not dissapear from game, he actually lies under his forges geometry. Usually it some bellows with him, and may be cabbage.
(Little advice, whenever somebody dissapear player.moveto victim_refid to check where is, if he alive you will find him, if he is dead recently, you will find where, if he dead long time ago, you will find him in special cell for dead bodies)
I didn't find culprite, but it certaion that travel inside solitude, and entering/leaving Blue Palace cause him to fall through forges ground to regular ground under this structure and die.
I thought may be it have something to do with LOD distances, but apparently no. Little update: He died from falling even when i just walk to palace, not visiting it, and go back to him, and there is result: (aparently i can't paste screenshots here...)
It probably some mod, becaue in this playtrought i decided check out some different things in mid of playing. Ok, new info. I left my follower there, go to palace, then back. They both fall under forge... http://funkyimg.com/i/2KsZr.png
So it means that something wrong with loading of actors or this object of forge.
Checked, travel to blue palace, Beirand corpse travel near it too. Walk back to forge, now Heivar dead under forge too.
I even don't know what mod can cause this, i thought may be birds, but didn't helped. Also INI probably have nothing to do with this, with default INI same thing.
UPDATE: Found culprit for this exactly issue with fall through ground Beirand.
It was ELFX - exterior option, if install ELFX without exterior option, its ok, no more falling through ground. Hope it will help someone.
I recorded few videos of this issue. Second one with using clean skyrim and starting game from new game instead existing save. I can't post it here? It was deleted, or it was because i posted 3 posts in row instead editing last one?

And yes, you should also try to avoid double/triple posting. it gives everyone extra notifications and makes it more annoying for people with the 2.0 Forum namespace enabled on Special:RecentChanges.
