Lary Kuhns: He says, ‘Did you find Wanda?’ And I said, ‘Yes.’ ‘What’d she say?’

Lary Kuhns: ‘What’d she say?’
Keith Morrison: And surely he knew that she had fallen to her death.
Lary Kuhns: Well, any logic and common sense, yes. … He also asked the doctor if Wanda had said anything before she died.
Maybe the man didn’t know it was a thousand feet down that cliff. That no one could have survived such a fall.
But why were his first words “what did she say?”
Why not, “How badly is she hurt?” or “Is she alive/dead?”

Why not, “How badly is she hurt?” or “Is she alive/dead?”
