Pathologists of Lemmy : does most people (36y old, …) dying from a single punch have a pre-existing condition ? Looks quite odd.
Not a pathologist, but it isn’t unheard of to die from a punch. It happens more often than you’d think
Can definitely happen. I guy died in my country years ago because someone punched him outside a pub and he fell.
Likely a skull fracture. I doubt it was done with a fist. More likely a bat.
Nikhil’s nose and some teeth were broken.
The police further informed that “during the fight, Renuka punched Nikhil in the face. The impact of the punch was so hard that Nikhil’s nose and some teeth were broken. With heavy bleeding, Nikhil lost consciousness.”
there’s no hint of a weapon, and the only word they use is “punch”… she has a deadly fist…
Yeah, I have a feeling something was lost in the translation. You would mangle your hand doing that.
Maybe she’s an MMA fighter.
that’s not how losing things in translation works… they wouldn’t choose the specific word that means hitting someone with a fist… the word would have become more generic, so it should be something like “struck” or “hit” and we’d be left to guess… besides, i think they speak English… and anyway, we’re not talking about my hand or yours…
“The accused’s confession to the police reveals that the couple may have had an argument over these issues on Friday and she could have hit her husband on the head with a heavy object. He may have fell unconscious. We are yet to find the object that was used to attack him,” a police official said.
Several years ago in my city a guy got punched once outside of a bar, fell backwards, and broke his neck on the street curb. “Just one punch” can do a hell of a lot of damage, if you get hit in the wrong spot or fall the wrong way.
Bare knuckles to the dome can definitely kill.
15 years ago, my taekwondo instructor punched a mugger in the chest only once, and the man’s rib broke and stabbed his heart and then he died. My instructor spent spent 2 or 3 years of jailtime for the crime “unintentionally killing”.
Well, the instructor could have gotten stabbed too, but not with a rib
Not a pathologist but def if you got the right place anything can happen. As an anecdote, when I was growing up a fight started on the sidewalk I’m front of my house with some teens (not like big guys by any measure) and the guy threw one punch and the dude got knocked out. Hit him right in the temple and the dude died in the hospital after.
Well I’m allergic to being punched, I swell up pretty bad
