Many people say that that the giant died when David threw the stone at his forehead. But The Bible clearly specifies in 1 Samuel 17:51 "therefore David ran and stood over the Philistine, took his sword and drew it out of his sheath and killed him, and cut off his head with it." Basically Goliath was decapitated.
