I have a question. What actually determines that a Virtrumite is going to survive or die from his wounds? We just saw Mark get a hole blown thought him and survive, yet we know that near the end, similar wounds mean death. On the flip side, one Virtrumite gets killed by getting choked. I don't get it or I don't remember comics as good as I think I do.

I believe that if their heart is pierced so that it cannot regenerate, they die

they certainly did imply that, "Because of my damaged heart... my body isn't strong enough to repair itself" - Nolan

Tho oliver's heart didn't appear to be hit so maybe it's just because he didn't receive immediate help?

Yeah, I think the issue with Oliver was that he died quickly. By the time Eves regeneration began she said it was too late to save Oliver.

Its the source of their regeneration. If its destroyed they cannot regenerate and die.
