The first thing that will happen is that the vein in question (jugular) would begin to rapidly hemorrhage (bleed) at a rate of 700mL per minute if the victim is lying down, or at a rate of 70mL per minute if the victim's head is at a right angle. The victim will then go unconscious, or if left untreated, will become brain-dead and be declared clinically dead.

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.

How deep do you have to cut in order to sever jugular vein?

well, if you place 2 fingers at the back of your jaw by your ear, apply a bit of pressure, and you will feel your jugular vein. so in order to cut your jugular vein, u basically have to apply enough pressure to cut through skin, and a little bit more. Just recently (today) i had gotten a skate in the neck and blood started coming out, turns out i didnt cut my jugular tho, i was about an inch away.


How can you survive if dr cut jugular vein?

there is little chance of survival from the puncture of the jugular vein, because of the amount of blood carried. if punctured death can happen very rapidly. when archduke Franz Ferdinand was assinated in 1914 it was the bullet puncturing the jugular that killed him. also as an extra piece of information if the jugular vein is visible this can be a sign of congestive heart failure.
