It could also be a ghost do you have any ghosts in your fortress? If so try to take care of them first.

Wasn't a ghost. Fresh Fortress.

Just lost another one, Woodcutter, one of the original seven. I think it might have been the heat as no predators around, no fighting report, and he was outside cutting wood. But so much blood. It's freaking everywhere. He must have been bleeding for awhile. I'm kinda frustrated about this one, he was military and I was cutting wood with him until I had a barracks.

Just confirmed it is the acid rain bug. Lost my Carpenter during a wave of migrants that came in a rainstorm. While entering the Fort, they lost a calf and a horse. One of the stray donkeys has lost the fat on both of his legs and is bleeding profusely. I'm tempted to just abandon the fortress. The losses are quite frustrating and annoying. I've lost four of my original Dwarfs in about a year.

Look on the bright side:

You get free molten elves!

In addition to incorrect melting points, I have to wonder if the body simply doesn't insulate as well as it should. In the real world, shouldn't skin insulate very well against heat and cold?

Of course, this still requires the rain to be a minimum of 110 degrees F, which I guess is reasonable in some very hot biomes, but again, the body's thermal regulation in DF could function a lot better than it does, and your fatty tissue shouldn't suddenly liquefy and seep out your pores and cause massive bleeding just because it gets to the temperature of a very high fever.
