The first setence confuses me "but whether they suffocated from the fumes or drowned in 18 inches of liquefied cow manure may never be known, authorities said."

They can just check their lungs to see if they drowned or not. :wtf:

Either way, that's a shitty way to go. Dying in liquid shit. I'd be too embarassed for a funeral. My tombstone would read:

Death by Shit Oh god save me the embarrasment!
