React router wont trigger componentWillUnmount when the route is a sub-route

I am not seeing react-router unmount component when the route is a sub-route

So even if I switch between path/1 and path/2, componentWillUnmount never gets called for the instance of ComponentForRoute. Any suggestions? Is this how react-router is suppose to work? If so, any suggestions on handling route changes?

Tried using componentWillReceiveProps, but i guess its deprecated now?

<Router history={history}>
    <Route path="path/:paramId" component={ComponentForRoute} />
</Router>

componentDidUpdate (prevProps) {
    if (this.props.location !== prevProps.location) {
        //YOUR CODE HERE
    }
}

Also, component has to be wrapped with withRouter.
