I think I am posting this in the right section but...
In Acts 1:18-19 it says:
( With the reward he got for his wickedness, Judas bought a field; there he fell headlong, his body burst open and all his intestines spilled out. Everyone in Jerusalem heard about this, so they called that field in their language Akeldama, that is, Field of Blood.)

So my question is when his body fell headlong and it burst open and his intestines fell out what happened to him? What did his body exactly go through? Was he cut with a sword? Or do we not know?

Matthew tells us he hung himself. Here he fell.

Now, some want to say Acts is saying he died by falling. Where does it say that?

It simply says he fell headlong and burst.

Now, think about it.

One hangs themself and their body hangs there some length of time. For some reason what he hung himself with lets go, the now rotting and swollen body falls headlong, striking the ground hard.

No problem understanding the body would burts open.

Wow I never thought of it like that! Thank-x. He must of just hung himself I would assume because he let Satan enter him.
John 13:27 As soon as Judas took the bread, Satan entered into him.
