Abstract in brief

  • The text discusses the controversy and medical theories surrounding the exact cause of Jesus' death during crucifixion, noting that there is no consensus among physicians on the precise mechanism.
  • Various hypotheses have been proposed, including pulmonary embolism, cardiac rupture, suspension trauma, asphyxiation, fatal stab wound, and shock, each with different implications for understanding the process of death.
  • The review emphasizes that traumatic shock, potentially complicated by trauma-induced coagulopathy, may be a primary factor in Jesus' death, highlighting the complex physiological effects of crucifixion.
