Normally, the round will pass through the tissue, and cause excessive hemmoraging, or bleeding, which will deprive the brain of oxygen, and thereby die. It also depends on the placement, trajectory and caliber of the round. A small .22 cal round can pass through, or even bounce around in the skull, making a nice grey matter puree, and a large .50 cal can completely demolish the cortex, and sever all communication between body and brain. Assuming you are referring to a through and through shot the head, my best guess is hemmorhaging and exsanguination.

Btw, I'm not medically trained or anything so dont just take my word for it. Do some research.
