Would a stab wound to the heart reduce the blood flow from other subsequent wounds in the case of a multiple stabbing? I am assuming that the heart would stop pumping blood if severely penetrated which would result in less blood from the other wounds. My reason for the question is that I am writing a crime novel where I want to establish that the victim was first stabbed in the back (penetrating the heart) and that other stabbings to the chest and stomach were administered when the victim was already either dead or dying to fake a random frenzied killing.
Hi there, must be an interesting novel. Moving on to your question, yes if the heart has been stabbed first and generated first then it will stop pumping blood and so there will be less or no blood lost from the subsequent stabs or wounds in the other parts of the body. Happy writing
