Can you define "Dies"? Do all the dwarves suddenly die? Does the wagon stop moving?

The wagon turns into a pile of goods it had been carrying and a bar of wagon wood. The dwarves continue on as normal. Sometimes I'll get a message that a pack animal (water buffalo or whatever) has been missing for a week. I haven't observed it directly yet - still researching this.

This probably requires a save where the wagons are about to deconstruct.

Naturally, now that I'm trying to catch them in the act, they're all surviving. All the dead wagons are clustered around a kobold corpse that's been out there since year one.

Oh, if it's from a corpse, then it's covered by 0007185.
