How does hitting your head kill you? (Specifically those that hit their head and are immediately dead etc). What causes this to happen and how?

Your brain has no room to expand in your skull so if there is leaking from broken blood vessels (caused by the trauma from the impact) the brain will swell causing pressure that cuts off the oxygen supply. Without oxygen the tissue will die. Sometime the pressure will push the brian down through where the spinal cord enters essentially strangling the brain tissue.
