I play support a lot, and use grenades constantly, so I have noticed this. It usually gets me killed when it happens. What happens is you throw a grenade far away, but then it explodes like it is right next to you. After it happened a few times, I was careful to watch where my nade went in case I had bumped a stalker accidentally or something. Nope, I clearly see the nade fly far away from me, then it blows up and I die.

If you throw 3 or more nades they can chain react back and explode next to you. If it's a single nade I've only had it happen if it hit something and drops but you can see it on the ground so that's not the issue you are having.
its lag related
what happens is when you throw a nade over a teammate, specimen, or object the nade will appear to fly clear over and land where intended
but infact to the server the nade hits the object it was near and falls short, most of the time dangerously close to the thrower
similar things can happen with grenade launchers. shooting a nade at a spot that would cause it to fly a distance and detonate BUT getting close enough to a specimen or object is what causes this
to you your nade will travel all the way to your target but to the server it stopped short. so the nade WILL detonate BUT still be within the impact zone
a grenade is supposed to no arm within a certain range, impacting the speciman causes a much reduced damage
but because of this bug it will explode way closer than it is supposed to
