So you're saying had Hexum NOT discharged that blank his
_skull pieces_ would have elected just that moment to implode into his skull
all on their very own volition?

You're NUTS.
The blank killed him.
The blank killed Brandon Lee and those are just the notables.

There are hundreds of more examples of lessor known people.
Google it, I did.

High calibre weapons at distances of up to three feet or more firing blanks
can kill.

Would you care to stand 15 feet in front of a .50 calbre 
Griz rifle firing a blank? 
If you do care to do so I'm certain many here will eulogise you.

 WC> I said he died from a blank. Your reply, nope, then you go on to say
 WC> he did in fact die from that blank.

 RW> Now you've got it.

BS,  a squib is NOT s live round of ammo with the bullet and powder 
removed then bullet reinserted.

A squib is not fired at the target but by remote control as it's
already attached to the target with a backplate to protect the actor.

All a squib is is a _tiny_ powder charge meant to burst a blood
capsule on the intended _victem_ giving the impression of
a gunshot wound. 

A squib is a special effects device developed expressly for this purpose
and has absolutely no relationship to projectile munitions.

You appear to know absolutely nothing about firearms or the 
dangers they represent.
