A medical expert has broken down exactly what happened in Charlie Kirk’s body the moment he was shot in the neck.
The right-wing influencer and ally of Donald Trump was fatally shot in the neck during a university event in Utah last week, on September 10.
Graphic footage of the horrific moment has since circulated on social media from multiple angles, showing the moment Kirk was shot while answering a student’s question in the crowd.
The video showed a single shot being fired towards the Turning Point USA co-founder, as he reached his arms up to his neck, which had begun losing huge amounts of blood.
The science and health expert has a following of more than 269,000 on his account @scibodytherapy on social media, where he makes educational videos about the human body.
In his newest video, he showed a diagram of the human neck and head and explained what would happen if a bullet were to pass through there.
Cottle explained that the body ‘reacts particularly badly whenever a hole is produced by an object moving at super sonic speeds through an area where cable management is a top priority’.
He explained that the shooter may not have been targeting the neck – he was more likely to have been aiming for the chest or head, but had a ‘bullet drop’ or a ‘bit of drift’.
The anatomy expert added: “Either way, it went through the neck. And to the people saying if there had been an ambulance on this scene or he had gotten proper medical care, that the outcome would have been different – that is not the case.
“He could have been shot in an emergency room and the outcome would have been the same.”
