W.D.J.D.O?

What did Jesus did Jesus die of? It may not have been due to a loss of blood, as is commonly thought. Israeli researcher Benjamin Brenner, says it's more likely Jesus died from a blood clot.

A Reuters article available from MSNBC says, "pulmonary embolisms, leading to sudden death, can stem from immobilization, multiple trauma and dehydration."

"This fits well with Jesus’ condition and actually was in all likelihood the major cause of death by crucifixion," according to an article by Brenner that is "based on religious and medical texts."
