In my story there's been a murder in a stamp mill, and I'm having a hard time finding the info I need online. So I figure I'd go to the experts. I sure hope you can help me out. <br />Here are a few of my gruesome questions:The particular stamp mill in my book is the Strawberry mill near Pony. I'm trying to label what the gangway is by the wheels that turn the stamps. <br />Right now the victim is crushed by a stamp, but I can't figure out why the amalgamation table wouldn't have dragged him away. And the gap is very small according to my research (7")- which is a writer's dilemma. <br />Would it be more plausible for him to have fallen into the ore-bin? How? I have the schematic of the Blake rock-breaker from the diagram below.<br />Or maybe I'm way off-base here. Any other suggestions for how a man might get murdered by stamp-mill equipment?<br />Thank you so much for taking the time to consider the questions. I really appreciate your help.
