Eikon API: dead companies have splits/dividends but no events

One of our clients noticed that the Eikon API has splits/dividends but no events for "dead" companies. Is this expected behavior?

eikon.get_data("QLGC.O^H16", ['TR.CAExDate', 'TR.CAAdjustmentFactor'], {'SDate':'1998-01-01', 'EDate':'2017-09-29'})[0]

eikon.get_data("QLGC.OQ^H16", ["TR.EventType", "TR.EventStartDate"], {'SDate':'1998-01-01', 'EDate':'2015-09-29'})[0]

Content questions such as this one are best directed to Thomson Reuters Helpdesk where a content specialist may be assigned to look into it and provide an answer.
I would also advise to reproduce the issue using Eikon Excel, so that the question could be easily illustrated to the Helpdesk specialists.

Event data from ADC is retrieved only by RIC and delisted RICs are not (yet?) supported. The content is available in Eikon, but not through Excel or the Eikon Desktop API with Python.
