If I understand correctly, the question is asking about the actual cause of death. It was a spear through the heart, the legendary Spear of Longinus. I have seen paintings of the Crucification with wounds on the hands and feet from the nails, about the head from the Crown of Thorns, and a spear wound over the heart. It was considered a mercy to kill a crucified victim in this way, although some were left crucified until they succumbed on their own. jesus could not be killed by anything unless he willingly gave up his life.
