I'd thought of that myself. But I suppose if the shell were large enough it could've exploded & sent shrapnel high enough into the air to hit the head & torso. But that's just speculation on my part. We should keep in mind that I don't think Garlasco is saying that it definitely was caused by an unexploded shell. I think he's saying it may be a plausible explanation. Good point, Mike.
