Funny, I thought my sins were the cause of his death.

Ah, yes, a painless thromobosis - therefore less of the expiatory suffering than those stupid Christians always assumed.
Typical secularist bilge.

He died becasue he chose to.
John 19:30
When he had received the drink, Jesus said, It is finished. With that, he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.

I'd say Prof. Brenner has completely missed the cause of death. He needs to go back to school, er uh, church. Maybe that's the problem.

Just another attempt to water down Christ's death as just another everyday thing. Nothing to see here, just move on. Christianity is just the religion on the right. An opiate of the people.
Remember, Jesus wants your love, Allah just wants your head.
To: echoBoomer
Oh yeah, because he was just a regular guy who died of a blood clot...ok...ahole!
To: echoBoomer
At what point does the intrepid reporter ask this "expert", "What does it matter?" I won't go into a religious spiel, but he's presenting an autopsy 2,000 years after the crime? I'm not a hard core Christian or very religious at all, but this is one thing that I think they should let be. Jesus died for our sins, and that's that.

While all of this is idle speculation,
Asphyxia seems to be a more plausible explanation.

"This fits well with Jesus's condition and actually was in all likelihood the major cause of death by crucifixion," he wrote in the article, based on religious and medical texts.
Then why does the new Testament say He died early, and that the legs of the other two men had to be broken (to speed up the death)?
John 19
30 When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost. 31 The Jews therefore, because it was the preparation, that the bodies should not remain upon the cross on the sabbath day, (for that sabbath day was an high day,) besought Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away. 32 Then came the soldiers, and brake the legs of the first, and of the other which was crucified with him. 33 But when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was dead already, they brake not his legs: 34 But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and forthwith came there out blood and water. 35 And he that saw it bare record, and his record is true: and he knoweth that he saith true, that ye might believe. 36 For these things were done, that the scripture should be fulfilled, A bone of him shall not be broken.
The other men were with Him, so why would they have lasted longer?

An Israeli researcher has challenged the popular belief... This is important, how? Mr. Researcher, if you want to amuse God tell him of your plans.
To: echoBoomer
"An Israeli researcher has challenged the popular belief that Jesus died of blood loss on the cross, saying he probably succumbed to a sometimes fatal disorder now associated with long-haul air travel."Actually, I believe the current theory is that He died of congestive heart failure brought on by extreme physical shock. (Based on the testimony of water and blood pouring from the wound when His side was speared.)

Maybe this Professor would like to test his stupid hypothesis by giving it a try on himself, using his own body in the experiment. We can have those crazy Myth Busters guys test his theory on live TV.
I have heard, and believe the cause of death by crucification was usually a slow suffocation. As your body eventually went limp due to loss of blood or exhaustion, it would choke off your ability to get oxygen. In Jesus case he was stabbed with a spear to either quicken his death, or as assurance that he was dead. If he was still alive at that time, then the loss of blood from the puncture wound could of been the cause of his physical death. Well at least he admitted he died on the cross. I have heard worse theory's coming from non-Christians, like he was just passed out or in a coma, later reviving in the tomb.
To: echoBoomer
Well, I guess now that we know Jesus died from a blood clot and not the crucifiction the Jewish people are off the hook!
