Nailed to the cross by wrists and ankles, the victim, in a desperate struggle for breath, alternately shifted his weight from arms to legs until he slumped down utterly exhausted. With the body weight resting on the arms, the diaphragm could no longer expel carbon dioxide from the lungs, and thus the man died...
