As to why people die by stabbing, they die because they cant or wont run away, wives, girlfriends etc mostly.

Having seen someone die from a stab wound, I think that your view is overly simplistic. Trust me, people die from stab wounds, usually related to hypovolemic shock, but also from infectious processes, especially if the stab wound is to the abdomen. But moreover a stab wound can cause other issues including lifelong pain, internal organ damage (a stab wound to the liver is pretty bad), and a whole host of other issues. Now obviously everyone would prefer not to be stabbed but I think with your experiences you have somehow become numb or obvious to the realities of stab/blade wounds.
