A lot of them die from subsequent infections.

That’s why most of us snake owners feed frozen/thawed.

Yup, that’s why those constrictors not only strike fast, but throw loops fast to disable movement. Like you alluded to with the exploding heart/brain aneurism thing, most folks don’t realize just how hard the snake is constricting right after the strike.
