bled out
Hemorrhaged to death
Bled out describes dying from blood loss, or the process leading to it: The soldier bled out before medics arrived.
In medical and combat contexts, it's clinical shorthand for hemorrhagic death.
The phrase can also describe draining something completely: We bled out the old radiator fluid.
