Possible causes: There are actually a number of forms of crucifixion. Death could be from mutiple organ failure, dehydration, exhaustion and asphyxiation (it would be very difficult to breath if upper body is suspended from cross), shock Please see: https://www.ajc.com/news/national/how-did-crucifixion-kill-jesus/C3z0FaYjKCghzENYH9LHzM/
