When and where is the funeral so I know where to organize my next dance celebration for Jesus

Was that the fencing response? It kind of looked like it was just lights out instantly.

I'm not a medical professional, but I've seen breakdowns of similar wounds. I think this can be compared to being shot in the heart. It creates a massive blood pressure increase that my guess in this case causes the brain to react with fencing. I've read that the pressure spike can be the cause of death before blood even leaves the body. Either that or some side effect of damaging the brain stem.

The more I watch it the more I think it was instant lights out. Like the spinal cord was probably cut as well as the carotid. Never heard of fencing response but I just read up and yea I think you might be right.

Well, that was a lot of blood. It would be a miracle if he survived that long enough to get him to a hospital without suffering some kind of long-term brain damage.

Shit was like a hose. He lost litres of blood in seconds and went into instant fencing pose. He was probably unconscious before he even had any idea what happened and dead seconds later.

Kind of a good way to go when you think about it. Can't be scared or in pain when it's that quick.

You assume he didn’t have brain damage in the first place

Well Kirk got his wish.

I wonder if it was a missed headshot?

[–] PowerCrazy@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 day ago

Almost certainly. It was an intentional shot, you don't aim for the neck. Either the shooter was aiming for the heart or the head, and missed. But mission still accomplished.

That nice of a shot can only be the work of one man
