i downloaded some law and order SVU episodes and in one of them the victim was killed by being stabbed in the back. the doctor said the attacker stabbed her in the diaphragm making her unable to scream and killing her instantly.

i have no medical knowledge but it seems like that would not work.
1. you would still have air in your lungs right?
2.the attacker did not attack the heart or brain so it wouldn't killer her instantly right?
