I imagine an infection would be the most likely killer. Maybe eventual bloodloss? Though that would take quite some time.

Somewhat related comment. Is it possible to kill a human with a thumbtack?

Yes, you just have to be patient

You can kill a human with a well place punch or just a chokehold.
So yes, you can also do it with a thumbtack.

You could totally rip open a neck artery with a thumbtack.
