Leg and Feet Wounds

There are large blood marks on the front and rear of each foot. This is consistent with crucifixion, in which a single spike was typically driven through both feet between the metatarsal bones. [Antonacci 2000, 21]
Pathologists conclude from the image details that the right foot was against a flat surface, the left leg bent so the left foot could be rotated to rest on the right foot so that a single spike could be used to impale both feet. [Antonacci 2000, 22]
The skeleton of a Jewish crucifixion victim, “Yohohanan”, was found with a 7 inch spike attached to his heel bones. Unlike the accounts about Jesus, Yohohanan‘s right tibia and left fibula were broken. [Antonacci 2000, 116]

Right Chest Wound

The massively bloody wound on the victim’s right chest is about 4.4 cm long and 1.1 cm wide. This matches the dimensions of the head of a Roman lancea spear. [Antonacci 2000, 20]
The Roman military custom was to stab a crucifixion victim on the right side, just below the armpit.
So much fluid oozed out the chest wound that it collected in a pool on the man’s back. The blood is accompanied by patches of clear watery fluid. Many experts believe the fluid came from the pleural cavity in the chest and possibly the pericardial sac around the heart.
The above corroborates the Gospel accounts: John 19:34-37.

Virtually every medical authority who has examined the Shroud agrees that the man died while on the cross. There are signs of rigor mortis, which in a hot climate can start immediately after death. This is suggested by the position of the head, which otherwise would have gone to a more relaxed position during burial. [Fanti 2015, 19]
