Died instantly? 

The article claims that "Cerna died instantly". The source provided is an article on snopes.com. However, the source does not claim that Cerna "died instantly". I know that a shot in the temple is usually fatal, but there have been cases where people died only later or even in some rare cases survived. Therefore I am not completely convinced that Cerna did indeed die instantly. Does anybody have sources which claim this? Otherwise, the sentence should be deleted.
