This is unbelievable to me. The syringe was loaded with a dose of morphine for Henno. It was not a tranq gun. It would not deliver the dose, the plunger would have to be depressed for that to happen. But even if some or all of the dose were injected, it would not be effective instantly. Basically the needle was functioning as a very tiny knife. Yet the x-ray keeled over and didn't get up again. It looked really nasty, though.
