Someone poisoned Dell because they couldn't take him on in a hand-to-hand fight with a hammer. Bashing in the head and doing the sled trick is a red herring, foiled by Speed's stomach pump fetish. <br /><br />So I'm pretty sure the killer is a woman and there's only one introduced so far. BUT this is Speed Saunders, so it's entirely possible Dell was killed by a secret cabal of assassins, led by Doctor Jone.

Don’t tell me it’s just Golden Age coloring, we all know it’s A Speed Clue!<br /><br />3) This entire story is about someone poisoning, bashing the skull in, and crashing into a tree a....boy. Who is shown leaking blood and brain-matter. Who then has his dead-stomach pumped. Only with Speed is the least weird thing that the victim is a minor.

"Poor Dell was poisoned with digitalis, left to starve in this barrel, strangled with this rag, then the murderer or murderess bashed his head in with the hammer, left him in the garage with the car running to asphyxiate, stapled him to the sled, and rammed the sled into the tree, which ultimately triggered his nut allergy.
