Knife and notch?

[Anonymous]

Hello, I have a physical question. What happens to a person if a knife is stabbed into the hollow known as the jugular notch (suprasternal notch)?

If a pointy device such as a knife is sent with force into the suprasternal notch, you simply risk to sever the trachea. You can risk to simply sever either the left or right carotid and subclavian arteries and cause laceration to the lung.

In any case, depending on the size of the knife you use to stab that person's suprasternal notch, he or she may most likely die from bleeding and possibly from lack of oxygen to the blood after the arteries have been severed.

I would assume there is a good chance they'll drown in their own blood.
