bleeds out
Fatal wound consequence
To bleed out is to die from blood loss, typically from a severe wound: He bled out before the paramedics arrived.
The phrase emphasizes the gradual, fatal draining rather than the initial injury.
In medical and military contexts, bleeding out is what happens when hemorrhaging can't be stopped in time.
