Only with Edo Tensei do we specifically see the (summoned) soul leaving the body. In every other case, whenever there's a regular death, no soul is seen leaving.

So regardless of when the Edo Tensei's host dies, we won't see it. After all, if the host lost it's soul during the formation of ET, wouldn't we see the soul leaving as well?
