Why does Firebase's Realtime Database's child_removed event handler not execute?

Question

My database contains:

user: {
  \'monkey\': \'banana\',
  \'bear\': \'fish\'
}

Why does the event handler not execute?

let db = fi

This looks like some race going on with the code, because I tested and if you do something like this:

 setTimeout(function() {
    user.child('monkey').remove();
  },2000);

it seems to work. Here is a fiddle I used to test it out, hope it helps:
