It's never made entirely clear whether the tailed beast fully escapes from its jinchūriki's body or if the jinchūriki merely loses control and turns into the beast. There was a quote somewhere in the manga that implied Blue B died due to Gyūki being forcibly extracted from him, rather than breaking out of his body on its own, which seems to imply the latter.
