Now have you ever had a Mercedes seat apart and seen all that crumbling horsehair they have in them? Well, in those days they used real horsehair, and when the bomb when off Heydrich's body was filled up with bits of springs and leather and horsehair. He lived for several days, but died of infections from all the stuff that was floating around in him.

Sounds like a good death for a butchering pig. The other theory is that the bomb ("donated" by the British Special Ops Exec) was actually deliberately laced with bacteria and/or a slow-acting poison. Either way, Heydrich got his, and nothing less than he deserved.
