So how did Thompson die, exactly?


I don't know much about how bombs can kill you, and unlike most movies he wasn't caught in flames or blown to pieces. Are we to assume the force of the blast slammed him into the ground, breaking his spine or something? Or was the blast radius enough to hurt something vital?

See you in hell, candy boys!
