This sounds very obvious, I know. I assume it doesn’t immediately stop the heart, and people can still survive even while being “brain dead”. So what exactly happens in the body to cause immediate death once a bullet enters the brain?
In: Biology
Your entire body is basically a vehicle and support system for your brain.
Everything that is ‘You’ lives here.
When a great trauma such as a gunshot happens the brain is mostly or completely destroyed and although otherwise perfectly functional the rest of the body no longer has a purpose and shuts down.
Think of it like a TV which relies on a power supply to function. If you shoot out the power supply the TV is still good, but without electricity it won’t function.
