Every adult body apparently had a firearm next to it. The causes of death were determined to be as follows: 39 people died from smoke inhalation 9 people suffocated 3 people burned to death 21 died from gunshot wounds 2 fetuses were killed along with their mothers. 3 people died from blunt trauma when they were crushed by falling concrete. -- I think 77 people total died in the bunker. Many or all were found under blankets which presumably had been wetted in an attempt to escape the fire. The medical examiner said he would have shot himself or his children to avoid the experience of being burned to death if he had been in the burning bunker. He also said that reports that the children had been beaten to death were unconscionable. Given that the FBI admitted on national tv that CARBON MONOXIDE (aka CITY GAS, a fuel used in cities for many years for heating, light and cooking) was used as a dispersant for the CS powder pumped into the compound, I think we can safely rule out the possibility that the Branch Davidians committed suicide. -- Dave Feustel N9MYI <[f--s--l] at [netcom.com]> I DON'T CARE about the deficit OR the national Debt; *I* don't have any kids.
