[blackbelly] Identifying lightning deaths in sheep?

Hi everybody,

I had a bad day today. 

Severus, my best polled ram, was found dead.  He was located in a metal hog
hut.  He was in perfect health yesterday.  We had fierce thunderstorms move
through here for nearly 10 hours.  I inspected Severus for wounds but found
none.  His belly had a strange green tinge to it but that may have been from
lying dead for a while.

My question is, is there any way to identify a death due to lightning?  I
didn't see any burns or wounds of any kind!

This was one extremely healthy vibrant young ram!

Just sick of this day,

Mark Wintermute
