I remember reading something like that too, Laurie.

Powell kept trying to pull himself up to releave the pressure on his throat, and would pull his knees up to almost a sitting position. He was not unconcious while he was doing this.

As for Davey, when someone dies, all their muscles relax. It is not uncommon for them to wet themselves or worse.

I think that is why Lew Powell refused all food and drink that morning....he had been a soldier and had been on battlefields and seen (and more than likely smelled) the dead....he didn't want that final indignity.... MORE questions for Blaine!
