How Jesus Died
There is a bit of publicity, my dears, on just how Jesus died. Traditionally Bible scholars claim that Jesus died from asphyxiation, as the weight of the body hanging on the cross eventually makes it impossible to breathe. However, recently an Israeli physician claims that Jesus died from pulmonary embolism, which basically means that a blood clot blocked his lungs. You darlings can see a summary here. The academic version of the story is in the Journal of Thrombosis and Haemostasis, if you are interested in some LIGHT reading.
