Expert breaks down Charlie Kirk's likely final moments

A forensic psychologist has analyzed what Charlie Kirk likely experienced in his final moments on September 10.

In a YouTube video, forensic psychologist Derek Van Schaik explained what happened during Kirk's last moments.

"That’s when this single shot was fired. It sadly struck Charlie on the left side of his neck at apparently near his C4 C5 vertebrae and apparently ruptured his left carotid artery and left jugular vein causing sudden and massive blood loss," the psychologist explained. He added, "The entrance wound was approximately the size of a dime but appeared much larger in footage of the event due to immediate surrounding bleeding."

"Although there was no clear footage of the exit wound, they tend to be much larger than the entrance wound in flesh. Do you know why? It’s because the force of the bullet creates a temporary cavity pushing mass along with it as the bullet exits the body," Schaik further mentioned.

The psychologist also added that Charlie Kirk would not have felt anything before he died. "You may be wondering if severe damage to the spinal cord at C4-C5 caused Charlie to lose consciousness so quickly. No, it was the massive blood loss he incurred so quickly," Schaik said.

He explained, "The jugular vein carries deoxygenated blood down from the brain while the carotid artery pumps oxygen-rich blood up to the brain. So what happens when both are catastrophically ruptured? Right? The jugular vein drains blood from the brain out of the body while the carotid artery continuously pumps blood out of the body with each heartbeat."

"When someone suffers a catastrophic wound to the neck that destroys a carotid artery and jugular vein, the mind only has a fleeting window to possibly register what happened," the psychologist said.
