What was the medical cause of Jesus's death?

Can fatigue and disorientation from cancer cause death alone?

  • Can severe debilitating fatigue from cancer alone cause death? Or the disorientation from bone cancer meaning the feeling out of body, confused kinda lightheaded feeling cause death alone? What exactly causes death from cancer?

  • Answer:

    What exactly causes death from cancer? Most often by having the tumors spread to and overtake the critical organs(liver, kidneys, lungs, brain, etc) The tumors squeeze on and pressure the organs until they fail from blood vessel constriction or from the great pressures due to fluid expressed from the tumors. So technically the cancerous tumors squeeze the life out of you. Fatigue and disorientation is very often caused by dehydration and malnutrition alone or is compounded by the drugs and sometimes cancer mets in the brain.

No, fatigue and disorientation are side effects of chemo, and in later stages of cancer. These two symptoms would not normally cause death. Death from cancer is because the cancer cells invade most organs causing tumors, cell overgrowth and prevent the normal function of the organs affected by the cancer.

Organ failing is the root cause for canser death, and fatigue and disorientation are just phenomenons.
