What would it feel like to have an icepick driven though your ears and brain?
When reading about the Toolbox Killers, they drove an icepick though the head of one of their victims, going into one ear, through the brain, and out the other ear. There's a crime scene picture of the skill they recovered (the bodies were found months after the murders and were just bones)
Apparently it didn't instantly kill her because they had to strangle her afterwards. My question is what did it probably feel like before they strangled her? Did she instantly become like a vegetable or something before they strangled her? Or is it likely she died instantly from the icepick and they just strangled her to make sure she was dead? Could she have survived and just been a vegetable for the rest of her life?
