– How does crucifixion cause suffocation?
In: 1
I’m not a doctor, but a rusty nail through the dermis to the muscular tissue past the bone and out the other side must lead to an infection. Tetanus, hepatitis, staph, all of which can lead to a build-up of fluid in the lungs. That being said, if you were hung from the wrists, the first musculature to fail will usually be the diaphragm. Crucifixion isn’t a sure fire way to murder a dissenter with a definite cause but it will make quite the statement.
