If a crew member takes more damage than their remaining health, where does the excess go?

Several experienced players agree; no official ruling.

Damage cannot exceed health: the crew member drops to 0 and the excess must be placed on another crew member. Block is applied once when the attack's damage is first set, so the passed-on damage is not blocked again by another character's block. Venom at 0 health is a separate designer exception.
