How do,they know he didn’t just step on a nail and die from shock?
“How do,they know he didn’t just step on a nail and die from shock?”
It’s hard to tell from the one photo, but the nail appears to come through from the top. I believe we are seeing the bottom of the foot. Also, having stepped on a much smaller, pointier nail with a bare foot...it stuck into the bone, but I stopped putting weight on it before it could have gone through. It took two men pulling to help me get the nail out: one on the board and one on my bent knee. Penetration into the bone was probably 1/8th inch or so, then about 1 3/4 of meat from bottom of foot to the bone.
