I can't find any reference to it except I think it might mean drained of blood.

It means the person/animal bled out, it's a medical term. Normal dictionaries probably won't have it, or will have a limited definition.
It is generally used as a reference in forensics (cause of death: exsanguination, for example)
Nothing nearly as exciting as you would have thought given the length of the word.

Well, you've spelled it wrong. It's EXSANGUINATE - try looking it up that way.
