There are three possible causes of death when the throat is cut.
The most likely is exsanguination; if the external jugular vein, and/or internal jugular vein, and/or carotid artery are cut the person will bleed to death.
It is also possible, if the throat has also been cut open, to choke to death on the blood.
Another possibility is the occurence of an embolism, if air enters either of the jugular veins.
