Nothing visible on his body. I've never heard of this happening before. The shell must have landed perfectly with the primer hitting the point of a stone. Look at the primer indentation.

There it is right there - the thing that makes me cringe and hunch my shoulders any time I or someone near me accidentally drops a live shell. People say "Don't worry, that could never happen!" Yeah, Right!
