I find that particular detail implausible. A sensible shotgun load for
quail wouldn't have enough penetration to do that. There's plenty of
reason for a heart attack, but the idea of a pellet that deep seems more
like a reporter jumping to conclusions.

I heard someone -- apparently a doctor -- discussing it on NPR either
Tuesday or Wednesday, and apparently one pellet penetrated deeply
enough to embed itself shallowly in the outside of the heart muscle.

Pellet migrated in the bloodstream, actually.
