@A39IsTOZ8SJIr2oM2y.graf@poa.st @TrevorGoodchild A bullet to the neck has more damage than just the hole - there's also a resulting shockwave all through the neck, shredding blood vessels, veins and arteries and yes the spinal cord.

It looks like he got a hole right through his jugular vein, which tends to rapidly lead to total brain death.

Most shots to the neck are lethal - there have only been a few cases where no major vein or artery got punctured too badly and medical care was immediately administered, resulting in survival.
