It says she was pierced 2" into her chest. That's all it took to kill her? That's nuts

Depending on where on her chest it went in, maybe it punctured a lung? Not sure if your heart can be reached within 2 inches anywhere around your chest.

3.2 cm is average depth from skin to heart at its closest point to the outside. 6% of individuals is just 1.7 cm.
So 2" can be plenty to poke at it.

I see you used two different units, lets add a third to puzzle americans.
1" is equal to 25,4 mm

If it's any consolation, as an American that got into 3d printing... Holy hell am I glad for metric or half the work would be converting all this imperial bullshit.
