Answer: Perhaps Mike, being skilled as he was in torture and extracting information - as we saw earlier, stabbed Dave to the extreme right, or left of Dave's aortic pump. It just looked like Mike stabbed Dave directly in the heart.
Answer: He didn't survive, he was mortally wounded, that means he would be dead anyway even if Mike didn't kill him.
