If you Karate chop or punch someone in the throat will they die? or can they? what if it was just a mild strike?

 

[AdamFalcon]

Yes it certainly can. You should always avoid striking someone in the throat because with enough force and percision you can collapse their esophagus causing them to suffocate to death.

depends on how hard you hit

Hitting someone in the throat hard enough with ANYTHING can kill that someone. It is very dangerous.
