Note: Ezra Thompson Jr was killed when excitedly re-loading a double-barrelled shotgun while hunting with friends, he accidentally loaded the barrel that was already loaded, the gun fired into a limb, I believe, he bled to death. An inquest ruled the death accidental. He left two small children, as well as a wife, but I don't have their names.
