McComb, wounded in a love-triangle shooting, lived three hours with a bullet hole in his heart. At Wayside hospital doctors noted a barely perceptible pulse. Post mortem revealed the heart’s ragged wound behaved like a valve, blood draining into the abdomen. Andrew Bush confessed to the fatal shot, though McComb implied self-inflicted by the dying breath. Coroner Hoye called these cases of heart wounds rare.
