How do you explain the state of Winterthorne’s skin when he died?

His skin was like paper when he was alive. You could see his veins. Half an hour after he died, his skin was kind of like an ancient Egyptian mummy. Another victim of the venom.

>2 EadieB: Agree, all part of the supernatural theme and his connection to it.

Winterthorne's mysterious survival after his plane crash is linked to the condition of his skin. More mysterious forces at work.

Was his death from natural causes, or had the djinn paid him a final visit?

I agree with everyone.
