Jason is lying dead, he has an iron bar across his back and some food in front of him.
How did he die? 
P.S please don't google for answers, that's real cheap unless thread starter needs the answer and doesn't know it themselves.

If his name was Ben, then M.J. might be pretty upset.

Starvation. His hands were tied to the bar and he couldn't get to the food.

It's a cruel way to do it... other possibilities would catch Jason alive, and allow him to road the fields free.

I assume that you meant roam(road). i'm allergic to cats too, but not for a fear of pain.

Actually, I have absolutely no answer in mind. But it seemed an obvious trick in the puzzle. Maybe it'll help someone else

try drawing it up: a spring(answer springs to mind), an iron bar on his back(he isn't human), some food in front of him, it becomes pretty clear, add other phrases(allergic to cats, but not for a fear of death, trap alive) need i go on?

Ah.. So I guess he shouldn't have escaped. At least I assume he didn't get named while roaming free.
