I found this section unnecessarily graphic in its content. It certainly didn't improve my understanding of the event and if the article is intended for general information, it probably goes beyond what most people are looking for. If readers want to pursue such details, I'm sure there is a blizzard of sites on the internet they can find out from. I'm not particularly offended by it. I just thought that level of frankly gory detail unnecessary and could potentially upset members of his family. I also notice that it is unsourced. On that basis, I'd be curious to know what reason anyone could provide as to why it should stay. Flanker235 (talk) 16:14, 19 May 2020 (UTC)Reply
