Shot in the shoulder and died? What did he do, bleed out?

Sometimes when the body is traumatised it can just shut down with shock, particularly if there are any other negative medical factors ie weak heart.  😀

It was a single shot gun that needs loading from the end of the barrel and packing down like an old musket. It is thought he was leaning over the end whilst doing this and his foot pulled the trigger.

Appalling firearms instructor. Bullets lying around, student allowed to pick up bullets and load a gun without supervision, student allowed to point the gun at people.

 

He was, frankly, responsible for his own death.
