Concussion serd tsa
It can happen if you get hit in the chest at a certain point at a certain point in time. Such a shock causes the heart to be delayed (interrupts the heart rate). So yes, you can die from a blow to the chest.
Note: This is most often the case with young men playing sports.
Human microflora
A huge number of microorganisms live inside the human body. It has long been thought that the number of microbes is ten times the number of cells, but recent studies have shown that the ratio is approximately equal.
