Fleebie would have died from the heat. Look, you don't want details and an idea of how long it may have taken. It's truly a bad way to die, and I don't want to give you those details because it will only make things worse. I would just tell them he climbed into the dryer, it got too hot for him, and he passed away. Spare them, and yourself, the details. I'm so sorry.
