Summary0010073: Syndrome causing odd memorials
DescriptionWhen a forgotten beast syndrome caused a dwarf to bleed to death in my fortress, the memorial slab attributed the death to a copper arrow from a goblin's bow during an invasion. However, no invasion happened that year, I've never seen a goblin by the name given, and I watched the dwarf bleed to death from the forgotten beast syndrome. It seems as if bleeding to death gets attributed to a goblin's arrow even if there were no goblins?

The forgotten beast was slain before the dwarf started bleeding, which may have been what caused the error?

I have a related bug. My queen definitely died of alcohol poisoning during a massive party, covered in her own vomit. Yet her engraved slab claims that she was struck down by a giant wombat corpse. I have giant wombat corpses as normal wildlife on this map, but there's no way that one got anywhere near the queen.

Looking at the data in the save, the unit refers to a combat incident report, while at the same time giving a death cause of N/A.
The combat report correctly states that the death cause was suffocation, but incorrectly blames it on a giant wombat. At a guess, the wombat ended up in the report either because the fields weren't filled in, and thus data from an earlier report was left in, or a killer was added erroneously. The race of the referenced unit matches the race in the report.
