No, I understand he got hit in the neck and blood instantly started gushing out, essentially guaranteeing a 1 way trip to hell, but he was pronounced dead at the hospital, and stayed alive for a surprising amount of time.
They also didn't pronounce JFK dead at the scene despite half his brains being in Jackie's lap ...
Well yeh, but when they pronounced him dead they stated his time of death at the precise moment when his headtop went flying, which is when he died. Charlie had officially died roughly 2h after the shot, he may have been a vegetable/unconscious but still by all accounts alive.
You're only pronounced dead at the hospital AFAIK (or by a doctor or something), so even when your head just explodes, you have to wait until the ambulance makes it to the hospital to be pronounced dead. Doesn't mean you survived until they decided that chest compressions weren't working.
Sometimes hospitals will endeavor to be overly optimistic, running a code for way longer than is likely to work. There's a slim chance something pans out, even if the patient is unable to recover from a persistent vegetative stare.
Who knows about his vitals, but he almost certainly didn't significantly suffer, he was unconscious before he could realize what happened.
I saw an accident where a car rolled and a passenger was ejected and his head hit the asphalt at speed, leaving skull and brain matter on the asphalt. The news reported that he was pronounced dead at the hospital about an hour later.
Especially if that person is famous and litigious.
Or has a cult of fanatics that is prone to conspiracy theories that will take any opportunity to imagine the medical staff deliberately let them die...
If you saw the video, it was clear that he was hit in the brain stem and was dead instantly from hydrostatic shock. Look at what his arms did instantly.
