I've already had a tetanus shot three months ago, but just yesterday I accidentally cut myself with a rusty blade. Should I be worried about getting another tetanus injection?

View allWhat could cause someone to pass away if they were laying on their side in the recovery position with blood that had come from their mouth and coagulated on the floor, and had a greyish skin color with a deep purple bruise on their forehead or cheek? I noticed they were told to start compressions until the ambulance arrived, but when I tried to roll them, they barely moved. I'm really concerned, and I'm trying to understand what might have happened.
Based on the description, possible causes of death could include cardiac arrest, asphyxiation, or a severe head injury, potentially caused by a fall or blunt trauma, which may have resulted in the observed bruise and stiffness in the body; other potential causes could include a pulmonary embolism, stroke, or an aneurysm, but a thorough investigation, including an autopsy and toxicology report, would be necessary to determine the exact cause of death.

Got hit on the temple, and it's swollen. It really hurts when I touch it or if I open my mouth. Plus, I've got this headache. Do you think it's something I should be worried about?
