Just cause the mis-information media says it doesn't make it so.  He might have died from the "injected" air in the blood stream, complications from an unknown medical condition, or incompetent medical intervention too.

One of the first things they teach in an automotive safety class is not to play with the air gun nozzle.  My instructor observed first-hand a death caused by that - no projectile involved.

It happens.

doing Electric work in NYC and not having gone to trade school my brother gave me many lessons on safety. One was about hydraulic and HP air and Steam. If A Greenlee cutter pops a pin hole inder pressure it can iject you like a Star Trak hypodermic, same as Hight Pressure Air lines. We installed a stone cutting machine that used plain old water under extreme pressure in fine jets to cut patterns in stone slabs. He did Intarsia in rock slabs.

Still shoot a chicken leg with an air rifel or if it is a magnum , a beef soup bone. The message will be received. It may not be absorbed, but to quote Ron White, "you can't fix stupid"
