Joseph of Arimathe'a together with a sympathetic Roman centurion who had declared: "Truly this man was the Son of God" (Mark 15:39), went to Pilate to claim the body of Jesus, and:
"Pilate marvelled if he were already dead, and to him the centurion, he asked him whether he had been any while dead." (Mark 15:44)
"When he learned from the centurion that it was so, he gave the body to Joseph." (Mark 15:45)
Normally no man would die within 3-6 hours on the cross (victims took upto 3 days), unless the "crurifragium" was resorted to, which was not done in the case of Jesus. Pilate then granted permission for Joseph to have the body (who may have treated Jeus till he got better).
Does a few hours crucifixion and one spear wound prove Jesus died? Couldn't Joseph have treated Jesus till he got better (why did Mary Magdelene massage Jesus' body often after his alleged death)?
Maybe he just got into a coma-like state for a long time.
