On Wednesday Brown went to work as usual, leaving Barry to go for a bucket of water. Barry did not put in an appearance, and Brown returned to the camp and proceeded to look for him, noticing that the bucket was standing empty in front of the camp. A short distance away from the camp he found Barry's dead body.
