> Sylvester, the cowboy mummy This story sounded so cool, I just looked it up. Unfortunately, the bullet hole is apparently fake and the reason he didn't decay is because an embalmer deliberately mummified him immediately after his death by injecting him with an arsenic-based fluid, which killed off all the bacteria and insects invading the body.
