However nurses have been proclaiming a darker story behind his death. They all say that they heard the man scream and harrowing, deathly scream. As one of the nurses entered the room she found the man cowering in a corner apologizing to the room, saying that it was his duty and he was following orders. The nurses then say about how to old man had told them multiple times of his war stories and how he regrets brutally killing a young German solider.
