This post is a story which I read in a book. I want to account the story by myself. Obviously, I failed. That "bags", I want to say that there were many redundant flesh package on the elephant man's body. And the last sentence which I wrote means the man died by accident. It is a mistake that I didn't wrote how he died in an accident. I'm sorry for my ambiguous writing and mistakes. Thank you so much for your explaination in detailed.
