Is it possible to die from slicing the side of the neck?!

Question: Is it possible to die from slicing the side of the neck?

I watched a HK crime movie and the triad leader killed a person by tying him up and then taking a large knife and slicing once the side of the neck, and apparently he died of blood loss.

Is this possible physiologically?

Answers:

Yes the aorta is the main blood artery - cut it and you'll bleed to death pretty fast.

'yes.,, because there are major blood vessels on the neck.,, and you may suffer severe blood loss if you will cut it.,, http://64.19.142.12/upload.wikimedia.org…

Yes, you have a main blood vein there, the carotid(sp?) artery, you can actually die very quickly from this type of injury.

Sure. Both the carotid artery and the jugular vein are in the neck.

yes, as there are several large blood vessels on each side of the neck.

if you hit the main artery that runs down it
