[RPG] What HP does Finger of Death leave you at when it kills you

character-deathhit-pointspathfinder-1e

Let's say you're at 23 HP and your CON score is 15. You're hit by Finger of Death cast by a 13th level Wizard, and as a result suffer 130 damage. Are you left at -107 HP, or does it simply drop you to -15 HP?

In 3.5e, I think it would have left you at -10 HP. However, I cannot for the life of me find anything in Pathfinder that says it wouldn't just leave you at -107 HP.

I can't find an explicit ruling on this, but In the Pathfinder Core Rulebook, page 562, under Death Attacks it states:

"In case it matters, a dead character, no matter how he died, has hit points equal to or less than his negative constitution score."

This implies that it's possible for damage to reduce health lower than negative con.
