I don’t want to minimize the problems with burning CS, but the bodies that were recovered were extensively burned. The doubling-over backward is likely an artifact of burning. The muscles contract, and the back muscles are far more massive than the abdominal muscles, and so the distortion. It’s been my misfortune to see this on a number of occasions.

That having been said, it still would have been unbearable to be a child exposed to that much gas.

Possible, in the report I read the authors attributed the death to the chemicals and not to fire. I don’t remember who the author was but it was a credible source. Certainly NOT worldnetdaily.

They found the gas in the child lungs there were pretty sure she was alive up until this point. I believe she was 8 or 10 years old.
