Why do people even want to go to Dubai of all places?
There's literally nothing there you can't find somewhere that isn't also in the middle of a god forsaken desert and built by slave labor.

That's also Vegas but with mafia instead of slaves
Why do people even want to go to Dubai of all places?
Brainwashing. My dad was with a group on vacation there (all 50+). We had a hard time convincing him that not everything is as great as they say there and that they left a lot of unsavory details out.
A woman willing to punch her husband for saying no, is probably better off not going to Dubai anyway.
I don't know, my interest is piqued now.
What a weird article. She was mad and punched him in the nose. That’s it. No mention whether he hit his head after falling. So, I’m led to believe this lady can one punch people to death.
Yeah they call it a punch, but his nose and teeth were broken, and he died. I am gonna speculate she hit him with an object, or got him in a compromised position that allowed her to wail on his face for a while.

Imagine wanting to go there AND fucking killing your husband for saying "no"
Well, now you're definitely not going.
Well they can still have the funeral there.

It's purely a hunch, but I would bet a larger percentage of women who punch their husbands to death want to visit Dubai versus women who don't punch their husbands to death.

Jfc. I wonder how common of an occurrence it had been for her to attack him when she got angry. You don’t go from 0 to manslaughter usually.
Username checks out
This has to be the worst written article ever
It reads like severe brain damage
Must have been written by the husband
This is sad, but your comment made me chuckle. I am a terrible person
Pathologists of Lemmy : does most people (36y old, ...) dying from a single punch have a pre-existing condition ? Looks quite odd.
It can happen. Punches to the face, head, and neck are more dangerous than some people realize. I won't say lethality is super common. But if you punch someone in anger, be prepared for serious consequences.
For example, sometimes a sinus collapses, sending bone fragments into the brain from a single hard blow to the wrong place. (I am not a doctor, but this happened to a kid in my home town in the 80s.)
It happens quite often. I'm a paramedic and have responded to scenes numerous times where the patient was only hit in the face once and died. I actually remember, years ago, it happened two shifts in a row in the same parking lot. There was a bar there that commonly had fights outside after it closed. Both times, people told me the person was punched in the face only one time. One of the two he was laying in the grass, so it wasn't even like he bashed his head on the pavement after.
Yeah, I know a couple of stories like this. The one that stuck with me was a bunch of kids who did like a regular unsupervised boxing group. One day, one guy got clocked just right, said he was out, sat down, then collapsed.

15 years ago, my taekwondo instructor punched a mugger in the chest only once, and the man's rib broke and stabbed his heart and then he died. My instructor spent spent 2 or 3 years of jailtime for the crime "unintentionally killing".

Bare knuckles to the dome can definitely kill.
Not a pathologist, but it isn't unheard of to die from a punch. It happens more often than you'd think
Well I'm allergic to being punched, I swell up pretty bad
Can definitely happen. I guy died in my country years ago because someone punched him outside a pub and he fell.
Not a pathologist but def if you got the right place anything can happen. As an anecdote, when I was growing up a fight started on the sidewalk I'm front of my house with some teens (not like big guys by any measure) and the guy threw one punch and the dude got knocked out. Hit him right in the temple and the dude died in the hospital after.
Several years ago in my city a guy got punched once outside of a bar, fell backwards, and broke his neck on the street curb. "Just one punch" can do a hell of a lot of damage, if you get hit in the wrong spot or fall the wrong way.

Brand new sentence? This doesn't seem common
... and if he had, he could have punched her to death and the police would have looked the other way.
