This is only anecdotal, though. Not sure what the medical science is behind it.
Pretty sure the science is solid. Long random story how I know, but it puts pressure on the vessels that feed a nosebleed.
Time for some thrilling heroics.

Eeek! I didn't mean to leave the seed of a disturbing overnight discussion!
I also know the anecdotal Darwin Award case where an alcoholic fell, cutting his calf open. Since it wasn't dramatically spurting, decided to watch TV and have a couple more drinks, putting his foot into a bucket.
Moral of the story? Don't bleed and drink, I guess.

Sue, that picture is so sweet! And your cats are pretty.
They are pretty, and pretty portly. They aren't really that buddy buddy, but they get along fine most of the time. They would never curl up and sleep together though. Oz usually wants to sleep in the exact spot where Clio is sleeping, so he just pushes her out of the way. He can be a jerk like that. But Clio will let him groom her face while they're waiting for me to feed them.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
OK, the guy who was killed by the cock-fighting rooster bled to death.
Jose Luis Ochoa, 35, sustained a severe cut to his calf the morning of Jan. 30 and was taken to Delano Regional Medical Center, where he died. Doctors were unable to control the bleeding and an autopsy conducted by the Kern County coroner revealed that Ochoa bled to death.
Authorities reported that the rooster had a knife connected to his leg, which cut Ochoa’s leg.

By analogy with that product, death would be art if you killed someone on top of a canvas and then framed the result.

That would be tricky for the artist - if they couldn't prove it was art, they'd be convicted of murder.
