Jesus may have died from a blood clot in his lungs, Israeli doctors believe. Dr Benjamin Brenner from Rambam Medical Centre bases his theory on New Testament and contemporary religious sources about the crucifixion. He believes Jesus developed a deep vein thrombosis in his legs while nailed to the cross, which then travelled from his legs to his lungs and killed him. Other scientists dismissed the theory. Bible scholars said the spirituality behind Jesus’ death was more important.
