0005662: Children + livestock fight and dodge into well
First noticed upon announcement, "Zulban Steruskilrud, Dwarvan Child has been found dead, dehydrated."; child corpse + numerous alive livestock found in cistern (filled with level 5/6 water). All livestock + corpse were located directly below active well one z-level above. Cistern is otherwise inaccessible (only openings are said well and through vertical bars for refilling). Combat reports were examined; logs of numerous livestock + child fighting and dodging were found. Bug report summary is best guess at what actually happened.

Since wells are otherwise not traversable by dwarves, assuming that this is a minor bug rather than a feature (perfectly reasonable that people fighting around a well may fall in it).
Have plenty of livestock (and possibly children) freely milling around fortress. Define SMALL meeting hall from well. Animals + children should congregate around well and fight due to lack of room. Some of them will probably dodge and fall into the well.
No tags attached.
