There are numerous causes of death that can result in blood being found by the nose or mouth. These include a nasal cavity tumor, a brain hemorrhage, drug overdose, or blunt force trauma.

Yes, it is possible for a person to die from an embolism, which is a blockage of a blood vessel by a foreign object, such as a blood clot. In some cases, the pressure caused by the blockage can lead to bleeding from the nose or mouth. However, further investigation by a medical professional is necessary to determine the exact cause of death.

Can you die by seeing an ugly person?
No, it is not possible to die from simply seeing an ugly person. Beauty is subjective and there is no scientific evidence to support the idea that looking at someone unattractive can cause death.
Would death from a pulmonary embolism be painful?
It depends. My pulmonary embolism was extremely painful. Think about it like this: when you breathe you get a very sharp pain, so sharp it startles you, and when you get startled you automatically take another breath. A never ending cycle of pain. Mine was exactly like that. I survived three days with it. Pulmonary embolisms don't kill you when they are in your lungs, the clot would be thrown to either your brain or your heart, and that is where it would kill you. If you only had the clot in your lung for a few hours and then it went to your brain or heart then it wouldn't be too bad. It would hurt a lot in your brain and it could burst a vessel which would cause death, or it would cause a heart attack which would be much more survivable.I'm looking at this answer above me and I find it so misinformed and so wrong, that I need to post this. PEs hurt. Yes, they are painful. Small or massive, they hurt. Not all PEs completely occlude blood flow, some restrict it. Contrary to what the person above wrote, "Pulmonary embolisms don't kill you when they are in your lungs", a PULMONARY embolus IS in the lungs!! This is why it's termed "pulmonary". And make no mistake, yes it can kill. Emboli don't stay in the lungs for "a few hours." PEs originate as DVTs primarily in the upper leg. Cerebral emboli usually originate in the left atrium of the heart . An embolus in the brain doesn't necessarily kill and the vessel it's in doesn't burst either. This is an ischemic stroke and people can survive them. I have no idea where this person got the idea that a cerebral embolus wouldn't be too bad. There really are not emboli in the heart. This is where they sometimes originate, such as with atrial fibrillation and chronic heart failure. The mitral and aortic valves are large enough to accommodate a partial thrombus. Generally, it's a piece of a thrombus that breaks free and migrates, not the entire thing. If a small embolus were to be passed through the aortic valve and lodge in the coronary artery that branches immediately off this artery, this would occlude blood supply to a portion of the heart and result in an acute myocardial infarction. I'm afraid the person above me knows very little about human physiology, DVTs, PEs, and emboli in general.

Death typically occurs due to organ failure and severe dehydration. It is important to note that not providing food or water to a person is considered unethical and illegal in many places.

What is the cause of death when you slit your throat?
There are three possible causes of death when the throat is cut. The most likely is exsanguination; if the external jugular vein, and/or internal jugular vein, and/or carotid artery are cut the person will bleed to death. It is also possible, if the throat has also been cut open, to choke to death on the blood. Another possibility is the occurence of an embolism, if air enters either of the jugular veins. ------------------------------ A nurse once told me to breathe in right before someones slits your throat, and you'll have a better chance of living. ------------------------------ I'm guessing that makes your larynx more pronounced so they have to cut deeper to hit the blood vessels.
