Turin Shroud: Etiology of Jesus Christ's Death for Infarction Followed by Hemopericardium

The news about the blood of the TS (Shroud of Turin) reported by two very recent papers, which also dealt with the consequent sufferings endured by Jesus Christ during His last hour on the cross before dying, have prompted the authors to study in detail the last twenty hours of the Passion of Christ to highlight what was the most probable cause of the death of Jesus Christ and how was its etiology. Therefore, these twenty hours of Passion suffered by Jesus Christ, have been divided into seven phases, each of which describing the particular pathological state of this Man harshly tortured in all his limbs. These aspects, fused together, have highlighted various possible causes of death, such as orthostatic collapse, asphyxia, uremia and hemothorax, accentuated by the insult that produced a heart disease from strong stress. Each of these contributing causes, if considered individually, would probably have led to the death of Jesus and obviously they severely weakened Him, but the results of this analysis indicated tamponade due to hemopericardium as the primary cause of the death of Jesus Christ.
