neck wound
Gash near jugular
A neck wound is an injury to the neck, whether from cutting, puncture, or blunt trauma.
The neck's vulnerability—housing the airway, major blood vessels, and spinal cord—makes such wounds particularly dangerous.
The victim died from a neck wound before paramedics arrived.
In medical and forensic contexts, the term often appears in descriptions of violent deaths.
