Why does a gunshot to the head cause immediate death?

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?

Malala Yousafzai was shot in the head and she’s alive. People can and do survive being shot in the head.
