In real life death doesn’t come that quickly: getting stabbed or shot will make you bleed and destroy organs if those are hit too. The time it takes you to die depends on the rate you’re losing blood at and your organ function, where losing blood is usually the quickest. The only exception to this is the brain: when you get shot in the head with a decent bullet, you’ll die pretty much instantly. If you get stabbed in any other part you’ll bleed to death over the course of several hours unless an artery or your heart was hit: it might be seconds to minutes then.
