He died, yes? So what's the problem?
Reminds me of the scene in the Green Mile, after Percy sabotaged Delacroix's execution, causing the condemned to suffer horrible agony, and Tom Hanks' character covered for Percy...sort of...
WARDEN: Now...what in the hell happened?
EDGECOMBE: An execution. A successful one.
WARDEN: How in the name of (Deity deleted) can you call 'that' a "success"?
EDGECOMBE: Edward Delacroix is dead...(turning to PERCY)...isn't he?
