I have a question in a similar vein.  Where was his body?  "I was 
ripped from my body" suggests that LV's body was left behind, but 
there doesn't seem to be any mention of a spare body being found in 
the wreckage.  I wonder about this every time I read this passage, 
and any ideas would be appreciated.
