When going through the forensics and medical articles that I researched, the one thing that stood out was that head injuries rarely cause instant death, unless they are in conjunction with another severe injury or are the result of a catastrophic fall or car accident where the force involved is immense. However, spinal and neck injuries could account for a death that occurs in seconds.
Since you have a martial arts background, what is your opinion on an unintentional hit or kick that would cause that type of injury? I am curious about the force needed and if it could occur if someone was in the fetal position on the floor.
If, major if, this is a crime of passion, then I believe it was a soft kill.
