Page "Disembowelment" Paragraph 2

If a living creature is disemboweled, it is invariably fatal without medical attention.

Historically, disembowelment has been used as a severe form of capital punishment.

If the intestinal tract alone is removed, death follows after several hours of gruesome pain.

However, in some forms of intentional disembowelment, decapitation and / or the removal of the heart and lungs would hasten the victim's death.
