If the cork hit him in the eye, he became momentarily disorientated and fell out of a second floor window, then yes.

Tootle pip, old boy.
Anything is possible...
It is very possible so be careful, if hit in the eye a serious or fatal injury could result.
Not sure if you could actually kill someone with this, but i remember once almost taking my ex mother-in-laws eye out a few years ago with a cork.......
Possible I suppose.
I remember when my daughter was a baby a champagne cork shot across the room and hit her on the head, she had quite a bump. ( Hasn't put her off it though ).
You'd get a better result with the corkscrew, lovey.
But I suppose if you popped him just right at the heart, he could keel over.
I've seen corks breaking glasses and mirrors, so if a cork hits your trachea it could probably hurt it seriously, but if you need more reliable info, you might want to propose the experiment to the "Myth busters" on TV.
It's never happened yet..... but you never know your luck!
You would have to be an awful good shot.
well at least you would have a decent alibi
Not exactly sure...I guess it depends where it hits them...But that would be medically coded as an E-code...I'll have to look it up...but most likely it will fall under death by an usual object...
Not sure but an interesting question I think. You should submit this to mythbusters!
But haven't you heard, old chap? Napoleon made the Sphinxs' nose look like Michael Jackson's with the help of a Champaign cork.
darling - thats not your job - its our butlers - you could always tell the vicar there is a bridge club over at Cissy and Dereks home over on the Grange ..rather
Yesh, pop it so it goes into there mouth down there throught.. and wa-la!
hmmm...knocked someones eye out i'd asusme! but kill..hmmmm...if it was you then maybe it IS possible hahaha :P
