Many appeared to lose their noses because the bone is absorbed into adjacent tissues. The same thing happened to the finger bones; the fingers do not become gangrenous and drop off, as many scare stories have it, but the bones are gradually broken down and absorbed until the hand is left with only short stumps where fingers and thumb should be.
