Interestingly, the cannonball didn’t kill him. He died of a hemorrhage.

Shot through the heart…

Brutal way to die but largely unharmed.

Realistically someone had to clean that out of the wearer.Â

Reminds me of this event that occurred during the American Civil War:
“During a particularly nasty volley of cannon fire, several men were hunkered down underneath a shelf of rock when a young soldier came clambering over the rocks to report that an officer had been shot in the head with a cannon ball. One of the men asked, “Well, is he dead?” The others around him laughed and called him a fool.”

Breast plates at the time were made to resist bullets from small arms fire.
This man learned ‘cannons are not ‘small arms’.’

It says he died in the battle, but it doesn’t say how he died. What killed him?

This is indeed interesting af
Did he die by the canonball?
I wonder how long it would have taken. It must have been quick but if his heart wasn’t destroyed outright then it probably wasn’t exactly instant.
That’s gonna leave a mark.
You can find this very chest plate at the Hôtel des Invalides in Paris! Right next door to where Bonny himself is entombed.
T’is but a scratch
Cette armure appartenait à François-Antoine Fauveau, 23 ans, un carabinier combattant dans l’armée de Napoléon Bonaparte pendant la bataille de Waterloo.

he died?
To shreds you say
Are we sure he died?
Was he okey? After all
I don’t think shattered is quite the right word.

Did he survive?
