The produce of death for the victim dead on the scene say
"exsanguination due to transection at the level of the pelvis"
What does this mean??
Are they basically syaing the sufferer bled to death after his body was practically "cut in half"?
Answers:
That's awful!!

Yes, the pelvis was crushed, which also crushed a major blood vessel and they bled to death..


OUCH
Possibly, but it's also quite possible that the report left out an important word.
Yup. Sometimes loss occurs when people bleed to death from aortic transection, but the aorta ends okay above the pelvis, so it sounds like the dude was cut in partly and bled out.
palvis crushed the key blood vessel also major truma on the palvis
You got it right. Blood loss secondary to central trauma to the pelvis. Source(s): Health pro.
