Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit December 23, 1998, Nos. 97-2338, 97-4179 (Monfils v. Taylor)

TERENCE T. EVANS, Circuit Judge.

It was a gruesome discovery. On a Sunday night in November of 1992, a two-story pulp vat at the James River Paper Mill in Green Bay, Wisconsin, was drained. The body of a James River employee, Thomas Monfils, was discovered at the bottom of the vat. The body was mutilated — the vat had propellers that stirred the thick pump mixture.
