Thanks again for your detailed response.
I think he would not die! She can't leave him alive in any way shape or form. The M.E. report shows all these multiple stab wounds, but I don't think there is one through the heart? She sort went around many organs, did go through a lung.
From the partially transcribed version that I just did of his autopsy report, we can see what wound(s) may have been first in order to allow him some movement to crawl out and make his way crawling toward his bedroom. She may have stood over him at the end of the hall and pull his head back and sliced his throat, that could also be where she may have shot him in the head. (the brain was sort of liquefied at the M.E. office so they can't see if the bullet hit anything, but they can see not much if any hemorrhage so that says to them he was dead, or mostly bled out by then) That is why he feels that could not be the first wound, there would be significantly more bleeding evidence in the brain.
