Dude died in a

If Ordo injuries were examined, we would find broken hand, finger, and leg bones. Also, numerous lacerations, bruises, and a contusion or two.
The difference is that they won't be saying, "This man broke his hand in a combat tournament of the time," they'll see the broken hand and dismiss it as a run of the mill injury. We may be Manly Men by modern American standards, but if that dude they dug up were still alive, he'd laugh and call us all a bunch of weak ass pussies.
Just sayin'.
