Did he die of shock resulting in cardiac arrest? ... As a result from looking at something in a shop window? Did he see the real price of something that his wife had bought earlier? Was he looking into a pawn brokers shop and saw something of his that had been stolen? Was he looking into a bizarre shop window which included shrunken heads from some African tribe when he recognised one of the mummified trophies as being the shrunken head of his explorer father? | ||
