    Like when Wile E. Coyote takes a few seconds to realize that he's run off the edge of a cliff?

    It was a slow stroke. Not really a stroke at all, it was more of a unrelenting push.

    Jim Brady died last year. The coroner said that Hinckley killed him when he shot him in 1981.

    Wikipedia - "On August 8, 2014, Brady's death was ruled a homicide, 33 years after the gunshot wound he received in 1981."

    Well, to be fair, in German you would say something was "fatal" when it had a heavy impact (i.e. on life) or simply was disastrous, so I could understand the phrasing if it wasn't said by a native English speaker. You can use "fatal" as meaning something "deadly", too, but most Germans would probably just say "todbringend/tödlich" (=lethal/deadly)
