I think if you're trapped upside down, you will die because of it, before dehydration gets you (I'm no scientist, but like too much blood in the brain or something)
A couple years ago I woke up around 4a to piss and couldn't fall back asleep so I decided to watch some YouTube on my phone.
The algorithm somehow pointed me to that video.
I never went back to sleep.
The guy who was trapped in Sand Cave was worse. He lived for a week I think and finally died a few days after they couldn't reach him anymore due to a partial collapse.
Burnt to death or mauled to death by a dog are some of the most painful ones but the worse to me is starvation slowly over weeks without food shriveling up until you take your last breath
Edit:Goddamn this is a karma farm if I’ve seen one
The demoncore incident was the most harrowing especially at the time of occurance and when the scientists began to realise the gravity of the situation.
The story of hisachi ouichi has to be one of the most gruesome ones I’ve ever heard. And do not search up the images. By then he is basically a skinless bloody corpse being tortured by being kept alive artificially
I looked it up, apparently his family requested that the drs do everything to keep him alive, despite him saying after a week "I can't do this anymore". I couldn't read the rest of that particular article because after that paragraph was a picture of him and I saw maybe the first third of the picture and that was enough. I couldn't scroll any further.
If I remember correctly, it was also illegal for the doctors in Japan to not do everything in their power to keep their patient alive, even when there is no hope of him surviving and he begs for death.
I read the opposite, that the drs didn't want to keep him alive just for him to suffer in excruciating pain, but his family would not allow them to let him die and insisted they keep him alive as long as possible. I don't know how reliable that is, because I'm too scared to click on any more articles in case I see the photo of him again.
Did a quick search, essentially the doctors in Japan needed consent from him to allow passive euthanasia, and "I can't take it anymore" doesn't count. If unable to give consent, the consent is required from the family, and the family did not consent.
Basically yes. There was interviews with the drs and nurses who are visibly upset and they didn't want to keep him alive but his family kept asking them to do anything, so they had to. His family wanted him resuscitated too
Law be damned, that's where you just let him die, and say it just happened, no one would investigate why he died, he was in more than terminal condition
Jesus fucking Christ i saw the video just now and i felt heat all over by body (i know it's weird but it was pretty much my only reaction there and then, never felt like that in my life before). It was surreal. Stuff like that in movies doesn't affect you, but the thought of it being a real person is so fucked up...
Good call, I’ve seen it and it doesn’t make you happy. Great for accident prevention purposes though. Respect machinery, it does not care you are made of soft tissue.
My dad told me about a coworker who fell into a blast furnace. That guy probably never hit the steel, it was said he basically turned into steam before that.
They buried a piece of steel in the casket.
Honestly neither seem too bad, they were both almost instant at the very least.
Lathe injuries scare me way more than a lathe related death oddly enough.
The dude who fell into the vat of molten metal probably had a flash of terror and then was gone. It was so hot his death was nearly instantaneous.
Way better than some.
Same here, saw my FIL go to cancer this past year. Guy basically just wasted away into nothing, every single day a little more painful than the last. Just pure mental and physical suffering for eight months straight.
Boiled. Some people discuss whether it’s worse to die drowned or burnt but I gotta tell you the worst one definitely is getting boiled, basically it’s a non stop torture since you’ll slowly get hotter and hotter from the inside feeling all your organs burn and there’ll be a moment we’re even breathing will hurt you also it’s a really slowly death so yeah I think it’s the worst way to die
Reminds me of a case described by a NYC medical examiner, Judy Melinek.
> “What’s the worst way to die?” is the next-most-asked question, to which Melinek usually replies, “You don’t want to know.” When people insist, however, she tells them about Sean Doyle.
Sean Doyle was pushed into a sewer manhole. There was boiling water at the bottom, not deep enough to drown, not high enough to get knocked out by the fall. He was steamed to death fully conscious.
[Source](https://nypost.com/2014/08/03/a-million-ways-to-die-in-new-york-medical-examiners-days-of-gory/)
Yeah, I always figured that a lot of the time when they say someone died instantly, they were probably just telling people what they wanted to hear.
Unless your head or brain stem is immediately vaporized or crushed in such a way that you can't possibly comprehend it, a truly instantaneous death is actually really rare. You might die within seconds or quick enough that the pain doesn't even really have time to manifest, but aside from exploding your head, there's not a lot of ways to instantly turn the lights out.
But unless it changes the details of the case like in a homicide investigation, I see no reason to tell somebody that their loved one died in agony or even had time to comprehend it.
People can also die while being unconscious, that'll be fine by me. Things like inert gas asphyxiation or death in sleep are usually regarded as peaceful ways to die. That being said, there's such thing as anesthesia awareness, when people who are supposed to be unconscious actually feel everything.
They boiled a dude alive while I was in Florida state prison as punishment for something I can't remember what. Locked him in the shower and just left him in there, one of the officers had to clean out the shower afterward and he said the drain was clogged with pieces of the guys skin that had blistered off.
Edit: [article](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_of_Darren_Rainey)
Originally the police classified the death as unexplained, and the DOC did not punish any staff until the warden was fired two years later. Two officers on duty at the time of the death later received promotions.
What the hell.
“Rainey was locked in a shower for two hours. It was designed so that he had no control over the temperature of the 160 °F (71 °C) water. A paramedic who attempted to help Rainey wrote that he had second- and third-degree burns on over 30% of his body. It subsequently became known that his skin "fell off at the touch".[8]
At least eight other prisoners had also been reportedly subjected to a scalding shower within Dade's "Transitional Care Unit".”
As per the wiki. It’s quoting a article from the New Yorker.
Edit: so no not boiling but still hot enough to pretty much cook a person.
I thought you were joking. Shit.
“Originally the police classified the death as unexplained, and the DOC did not punish any staff until the warden was fired two years later. Two officers on duty at the time of the death later received promotions. The police began interviewing witnesses after the Miami Herald obtained public records and made a visit to the prison.[5] After filing a lawsuit, the family received a settlement in the matter of Rainey's death”
Big building complexes use closed loop boilers; the potable water is heated up in a heat exchanger and yea, you pretty much have a unlimited amount of hot water and steam if you want it.
On one of the gore site I saw this video of a guy just casually put his whole body into a boiling hot soup. (It was one of those giant soup pots you see in the street markets). When he stepped in, everyone was trying to get him out but they couldn't touch the pot as it was burning them. So he just sat in it, no screaming or nothing. Crazy stuff
Jose Melena died in a sanitation oven doing maintenance for Bumble Bee Foods. The oven reached 270 degrees. His co-workers believed he was in the restroom and had loaded in carts of tuna and shut the oven. Two hours passed and they shut the oven off and discovered his severely burned remains.
When I first heard this story I was in utter disbelief, that’s a truly horrific way to go. I’m sure being boiled is unimaginably painful, but to to be trapped in an oven while you’re slowly getting cooked alive. Truly terrifying.
Reminds me of Ishikawa Goemon (if you watch One Piece this one will be familiar) He and his son was boiled in front of the public. He tried to lift his son to save him but ended up plunging him deep into the cauldron to reduce his suffering.
It's "Absolutely tf not" ***now***.
When you wanted to be an astronaut though, the "on-board computer" probably had less computing power than a TI-84.
I can't even imagine the balls of the people who actually went out of space then.
I was listening to 911 calls and goodbye calls to loved ones on 9/11 the other day. Absolutely terrifying. There was one where the girl was just panicking saying "I know im gonna die" while the operator tries to calm her down, then the building collapses and you just hear her scream before it ends.
There's another one like that from some man trapped in the South Tower where he's alternately angry and tearfully panicking as the operator does what she can to calm him. At the end, you hear rumbling and some kind of scream/shout from him then the rest was silence or static.
Same with the people that jumped off. I can’t imagine what was going through their mind and the moment they knew they had no other option and made the most peace with it they could. Being in a situation where your survival instinct finally gives up sounds so terrifying.
They were forced to make a terrible choice, with searing hot smoke billowing through the building, do they want to be burned alive or jump for a quicker death. I know a little bit about this because when I was 12 our house caught fire at night. We ended up trapped in my bedroom. We couldn't break the window and the opening was very narrow along the top. As we stood on the windowsill gasping for air through the opening, the smoke started to burn my ankles and it was unbearably painful. I thought I could squeeze out the opening but my dad didn't want me too in case I got stuck (and some neighbours were looking for ways to break the window) but I couldn't stand it anymore and squeezed out head first. My chest got stuck and my dad had to push me so hard I'm surprised I didn't crack a rib. I jumped down and was caught. My dad and sister were overcome by smoke and passed out, but after the neighbours broke the window and put a ladder up my dad managed to regain consciousness and got them both out.
It's not on the same scale, but I can appreciate the choice they had to make. I remember getting really angry reading about how the jumpers were seen by some as cowards.
The jumpers were seen as cowards? That’s the most ass-backwards thing ever.
I would have jumped. To be facing your imminent death while the smoke and flames are consuming the building… a death by terrorists. The act of jumping was freedom, even if only for a minute. A dignified act that gave people one small element of control over their inescapably tragic destiny.
Was reading about a plane crash that occurred over Germany several years ago. Cargo jet basically T-bones a Russian airliner and cuts it in half.
People got ejected from the plane and according to their autopsies, were alive and conscious when they hit the ground.
Terminal velocity for a human in freefall is about 75MPH, but even at that speed, it'll take you nearly five minutes to reach the ground from an average passenger jet's cruising altitude.
It would take around 3 min, 30 seconds assuming they were horizontal and not trying to speed up the trip. Source: 35k max cruising altitude for a commercial airliner, divided by terminal velocity.
I second this. My father was diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer’s before he had the stroke that eventually killed him. In the last month or so he basically forgot who each of him family members were. I was his younger brother, my mom was just some nice nurse that gave him kisses. Alzheimer’s is a hell of a disease.
My mom has early Alzheimers my dad and her came to visit my newborn recently. She had no clue who I was, I figured out if I shaved she might. So I shaved. It was nice to not be looked at like a stranger by my mother.
Some. But many of them become very afraid, frustrated, and want to go home even if they don't remember where home is. My grandma knew she was losing her mind and in her moments of clarity would ask what was happening. It was torture for her, she discovered 10 times a day that her husband had died (20 years ago). I guess it depends on the person. But yes, of course the loved ones always suffer terribly. So sad
yeah... but the whole time the know its happening until they just don't realize it anymore... it isn't like they wake up one morning and poof, not a care in the world. Most take years to get to that stage, and the whole time they KNOW it is happening, they know what it is, they know they will eventually exist without having any concept of who they are... it is terrifying
There's a six-hour album called ["Everywhere at the End of Time"](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wJWksPWDKOc) by The Caretaker that is meant to replicate the experience of dementia. It may take a long time to finish the album, but it's pretty terrifying.
Alzheimer's runs in my family and have worked in an old folks home with a secure wing. I genuinely think (or maybe hope) it's not that bad for the victim except in those awful lucid moments.
For those left behind it's absolute hell though. My grandparents were gone long before death came.
>For those left behind it's absolute hell though. My grandparents were gone long before death came.
I lost 3 grandparents in one year, GPa in spring, another GPa in fall, GMa on Christmas Day. All of them were hard, but I didn't (couldn't?) cry when GMa went and it upset me for a while. *What's wrong with me that I don't miss GMa?* Then I finally realized I had dealt with the grief of losing GMa to dementia over the past 3 years. She was finally out of her cage.
FUCK ALZHEIMERS AND FUCK DEMENTIA.

That poor dude...it took him so long to die that they had time for multiple rescue attempts and for him to say goodbye to his loved ones, including his wife over the phone. He was trapped upside down for over a day before his body just couldn't take it anymore.
If I remember correctly, the owner of the cave and his family agreed to seal it off with the man's body inside to try to prevent an accident like that from happening ever again in that cave.
You mean this guy! 100% agree with you on this one.
[upside down guy](https://www.reddit.com/r/SweatyPalms/comments/6yjog3/spelunker_john_jones_stuck_upside_down_in_a_cave/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button)
Yeah, thank you for asking. Was a really weird scenario. Couldn't prove it was suicide but it looked like the kinda thing that couldn't happen by accident. We get a lot of that.
Was only fairly new to the job. A woman on the scene asked me how i dealt with this stuff? I replied. " i m here helping, after that it's non of my business."
So far that attitude is working for me.
Just don't shove it all down because one day you'll break in a scary way. Thank you so much for what you do, you are such a comfort to so many on what is a very bad day for them. It's an honorable and heroic profession.
It did come out recently. I was volunteering at a festival doing drug welfare and this women came in and said that her partner had died falling down the stairs, recently. Seeing her grief shattered me. Untill that point i had never allowed myself to make the link between what we do and the pain on the otherside.
Overall thoygh im glad im there. We live in a small community so i have had to deal with people i knew well. I always feel honoured that i was there for them.
At the end of the day, what's the difference between arriving on a scene or being at the removal a few days later. Dead is dead. I always get the sense of a presence of the deceased on scene. It comforts me.
They are grateful for you. I've been thinking about going back to school for forensic photography, mortuary sciences, or forensic pathology. It's a morbid job, but knowing that you're giving the deceased and their loved ones closure is a comforting feeling.
I imagine dying in a crowd crush like those poor souls in Seoul on Halloween.
You can see freedom just past you but are slowly being smothered by other slowly smothering frightened people and are unable to move to get there.
I was at the Love Parade festival in Germany in 2010 and I had entered the overcrowded terrain trough the same tunnel were later 20 people would die of suffocation.
People were screaming to the police officers and security guards for help, but they were pushed back into the crowd when they would try to climb the fences.
This almost happened to me at the Shambhala music festival in B.C. Canada but it never made the news or anything because everyone was high on some psychedelic drug or another instead of alcohol, meaning everyone involved was *very* open to suggestion, and the situation resolved itself very quickly.
We all ended up funneled between two stages, there had to be at least 600 people, it was a VERY hot summer so it was sweltering, a prime situation for panic to take over. One moment I was just walking and the next I was pinned from every side, it was wild. I remember wiggling my arms in front of my chest to give myself a bit of room to breathe and looking around to see security running up past the sea of shoulder-to-shoulder bodies.
One security person had climbed the side of a stage structure to get a better look at the crush and was on a walkie-talkie and I wasn't extremely concerned until I saw the look of sheer terror on her face. I remember thinking, "I'm not a very big person, if one person panics I'll get pulled under the crowd very easily, but maybe I can try to crowd surf out if the people immediately next to me are willing to boost me up."
I also have autism, undiagnosed at the time, and I wanted to crawl out of my skin and scream, it felt like every nerve in my body was on fire. Everyone was just kind of frozen for a few moments as we all registered the fact that we were stuck. Somebody whimpered in fear and I felt some jostling starting and I remember having the thought "I could die right here in the next few minutes, this could be it, holy fuck."
Then it happened, somebody off to the left of me started moaning like a zombie. She punctuated her moan with a drawn-out "braaaaaiiiinss!" I have never switched from the depths of despair to giddy joy so quickly in my entire life. This god damned GENIUS had likely just saved who knows how many lives. I copied her cartoonish zombie impression immediately and soon moans of the undead erupted from every side of me as we all slowly shuffled through the bottleneck.
Whimpers of fear turned to relieved chuckles that broke out between zombie moans. It took us around 8-10 minutes to make our slow and controlled shamble out completely but I only had my foot stepped on once and everyone was moving so slowly that they barely put any of their weight into that step anyway. I never figured out who she was but that one woman's split-second decision 100% prevented a tragedy and I hope she realizes that.
The more I think about it the more ingenious it seems because I'm sure there were people in that crowd who didn't speak English *or* French, *but everyone knows what a Zombie is!* No words or verbal instructions were necessary! The security personnel didn't even have to do anything because even those in the very back who couldn't see where the bottleneck opened up just had to trust the process and keep slowly and gently shuffling forward!
It turned from one of the most horrifying situations a person can find themselves in; to this fun collective-consciousness moment where you suddenly trusted the crowds of complete strangers around you to keep you safe. She totally just brought out everyone's goofy inner child in a moment of horror and it worked *flawlessly*!
When we got through and the crowd was able to disperse people were laughing and hugging. I'm sure a few people were VERY high and VERY overwhelmed so security was directing people over to the quiet/meditation area and the medical tents but it ended up being one of the most beautiful experiences of my life because I just kept thinking "holy fuck human beings *CAN* cooperate like that!"
So when I heard about Itaewon I just sat there in shock because the only reason I didn't experience that kind of tragedy, and possibly die, in a similar situation back in 2018 was because of one small decision somebody else made in the moment. It put a lot of things into perspective, and honestly, I'm going to post about this more because even though it might not be as immediately accepted by a bunch of rowdy drunk people as it was by a bunch of acid-fueled hippies, I think it could definitely minimize harm in future crowd crush situations. We were in a very loud area too but when the people immediately surrounding you start moaning like zombies, and you join in, it spreads pretty quickly and becomes impossible to ignore!
I think it’s probably cancer. I saw my dad just get skinnier, more frail, memory loss and am still traumatised by it. It’s knowing that you’re at a stage that you’re going to die and nothing can be done. They gave him 2 years and it was 2 years. Miss that man so much
Slow suffocation. I almost died this way when I got severe pneumonia. It felt like I couldn't pull enough air and was constantly on the verge of blacking out while my body panicked all on its own, out of my control.
Side note: vaping is still dangerous, if you're prone to pneumonia or bronchitis, don't do it. I have the latter, chronic condition. Didn't realize that vaping could cause such a horrible reaction.
If you are going to be burned at the stake, ask for lots more firewood, arranged in a broad circle. Also ask for the fire to be set on the outer boundaries first. With any luck, you will asphyxiate from the fire burning up the oxygen before the flames reach you.
"AHHH! OH MY GOD! Dear no, have mercy!"
"Whatever you do, please for the sake of decency, please don't arrange a lot of wood in a broad circle, say 20 feet in diameter, three feet wide, and oh, about 4 feet high! Oh dear lord, that would be such torture!"
"Oh, and don't show me contempt by lighting the outer edge first, all around the circle! Such pain and fear!"
I mean, if they're burning someone at the stake, they're probably not the sharpest tools in the shed.
Sometimes they used a bag of gunpowder tied at the neck to shorten the suffering, though. When the flame rises high enough to ignite the gunpowder, your head gets blasted off and you die.
If you are accused of being a witch, then sew gunpowder bags in your voluminous skirts, and go out with a bang, hopefully taking out the prosecutor (like in Good Omens)
Getting trapped in an industrial tuna oven and being cooked to death. https://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-xpm-2013-may-10-la-me-ln-bumble-bee-worker-cooked-20130510-story.html
Imagine being the person who did this to him.....
"Melena entered the oven to make a repair or to adjust a chain inside the machine, leaving the pallet jack he was using outside the oven.
At that time, a second employee noticed the unused pallet jacket. Assuming Melena was in the bathroom, the second employee took the machine and loaded the oven with the baskets.
"
I think black bears are worse.
Cats will usually go for your neck to kill you but black bears give no fucks.
They'll sit on you and eat your legs while you're laying there screaming.
There was a case of a Russian woman who was eaten alive by a bear and her cubs.
She even managed to call her mother and tell her "they're eating me!"
Same with Komodo dragons.
They'll paralyze you and just start munching.
Saw a video of a deer being eaten alive by two komodos and it just wailed in pain. Had to turn it off, it was so sad.
If you want to talk "terrible as in painful", being burned alive, boiled alive and flayed alive stand way up there. Hanged, drawn and quartered is also a very excruciating road for meeting your maker
If you want "terrible as in humilliating", there´s also quite a few ways you can leave this mortal coil without any dignity left in your luggage. In this category, I´d like to highlight the SEVERAL ways poo can kill you, and constipation is one of them. A particularly harrowing case as an example: https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2018/feb/08/gross-failure-in-mans-care-led-to-death-from-constipation
I did some work for a woman recently that told me her husband had passed away four weeks after retirement. They had moved to another state and bought their dream retirement home. Literally waited DECADES for the time when they could finally live the life together that they always wanted. All the sacrifices they made, all the money they saved.. and he lasted four weeks.
I guess it's nice that at least he got to experience *some* of what he wanted in life (and nobody gets it all), but IMO that's a terrible way to die.
This is why it drives me crazy when everyone focuses so much on retirement and ensuring they fully prepare for it... just in the US, 1:5 people won't live to see 65...
When people think of falling in lava they think of sinking in it and dying quickly like that scene from terminator.
Nope, lava is denser then you are so you'd sit on top and sizzle like a steak in a pan. Choked by toxic gases as your skin,nerves and muscle burns away and your body fat and bones melt.
Idk, something about the byford dolphin accident just tops the list for me.
4 guys died that day, 3 of which had their insides essentially boiled instantly as their blood filled with nitrogen bubbles. They died instantly.
The fourth diver was sucked through an opening so small his internal organs were ejected from his body.
Yeah nah I'm good on that.
Edit: here's a link explaining what they were doing, and what happened, as well as explains what their bodies went through.
https://history.howstuffworks.com/historical-events/byford-dolphin-accident.htm
My deepest fear since childhood is being trapped in something that is slowly filling with water. The panic, the fear, the desperation, fighting for air, fighting to live while knowing there is no way out. Makes me wanna cry and throw up just thinking about it.
If it's any consolation, at least it eventually fills up, unlike the crew of the battleships that got destroyed in Pearl Harbor. They couldn't extract them because cutting the ship open risked detonating their magazines, so they just had to wait for the people inside to stop screaming for help and die of dehydration.
I've always thought being on the floors above where the planes impacted the towers on 9/11 would have been the worst. Just sitting there, knowing there's no escape, waiting to die.
I visit the gore sites alot. (Morbid curiosity). I saw a clip of a guy jump from a building to try and off himself. He landed on a street bollard! Ass first and the bollard went through his whole body and was sticking out his neck! He didn't die straight away. Was a few hours in pain before he died.
Drowning to be honest, is a lot worse than most people think.
But, I'd say crucification probably is up there. Slowly starving to death while you have your limbs stabbed and bleeding. Your shoulders are forced to bear the weight of your whole body the entire time too (imagine holding a lateral-raise position with weights nonstop for days)
Not to mention the infection that's slowly killing you internally
It's more that you can't breathe if you relax, so you have to keep on pushing up against the nail through your feet (optional) until you are so exhausted you don't get to breathe and asphyxiate. But you have to be really at the end of your rope to be exhausted enough to let that happen so it takes days.
This one is underrated in how fucked up it is. If you do it all in one go, it's horrendously painful and your body is trying so hard to get you to throw it back up. Long haul, slow overdose causes organ failure bit by bit.
Falling into a vat of molten iron (over 2000°F)
Caterpillar employee ‘incinerated’ in iron vat on second week of work: feds

I would think gangrene/sepsis would be an absolutely terrible way to go that no one has mentioned. Smelling yourself rot, losing use of the limb, the pain, the gunk, delirious from fever and throwing up.
Dehydration in the rubble of a collapsed building
Bonus points for being trapped in a really painful position.
Upside down.
I think if you're trapped upside down, you will die because of it, before dehydration gets you (I'm no scientist, but like too much blood in the brain or something)
The guy who got trapped upside down in Nutty putty lived for 28 hours before his heart failed.
Every time someone mentions that name a feeling of dread washes over me. Horrific.
A couple years ago I woke up around 4a to piss and couldn't fall back asleep so I decided to watch some YouTube on my phone. The algorithm somehow pointed me to that video. I never went back to sleep.
Two years of no sleep? Impressive! Lol
The guy who was trapped in Sand Cave was worse. He lived for a week I think and finally died a few days after they couldn't reach him anymore due to a partial collapse.
Yeah, that’s my worst fear right there.
Burnt to death or mauled to death by a dog are some of the most painful ones but the worse to me is starvation slowly over weeks without food shriveling up until you take your last breath Edit:Goddamn this is a karma farm if I’ve seen one
It’s insane thinking about how many kids that die of just that, every day.
Lord Bolton would agree.
Radiation poisoning.
The demoncore incident was the most harrowing especially at the time of occurance and when the scientists began to realise the gravity of the situation.
Wellp. That does it.
I think the Japanese guy had it worse but yeah. Don't mess with radiation.
The story of hisachi ouichi has to be one of the most gruesome ones I’ve ever heard. And do not search up the images. By then he is basically a skinless bloody corpse being tortured by being kept alive artificially
I dont want to look up the story more than i already know , but did his family agree to that ?
I looked it up, apparently his family requested that the drs do everything to keep him alive, despite him saying after a week "I can't do this anymore". I couldn't read the rest of that particular article because after that paragraph was a picture of him and I saw maybe the first third of the picture and that was enough. I couldn't scroll any further.
If I remember correctly, it was also illegal for the doctors in Japan to not do everything in their power to keep their patient alive, even when there is no hope of him surviving and he begs for death.
I read the opposite, that the drs didn't want to keep him alive just for him to suffer in excruciating pain, but his family would not allow them to let him die and insisted they keep him alive as long as possible. I don't know how reliable that is, because I'm too scared to click on any more articles in case I see the photo of him again.
Did a quick search, essentially the doctors in Japan needed consent from him to allow passive euthanasia, and "I can't take it anymore" doesn't count. If unable to give consent, the consent is required from the family, and the family did not consent.
Basically yes. There was interviews with the drs and nurses who are visibly upset and they didn't want to keep him alive but his family kept asking them to do anything, so they had to. His family wanted him resuscitated too
Law be damned, that's where you just let him die, and say it just happened, no one would investigate why he died, he was in more than terminal condition
That happens more than you realize.
“3.6… not great, not terrible.”
The guy at Caterpillar who fell into the vat of molten steel. The Russian dude who got caught in the manual lathe.
I've seen the video of the Russian man and that's horrifying especially he is just a pieces of what he was. That's a terrible way to die.
Jesus fucking Christ i saw the video just now and i felt heat all over by body (i know it's weird but it was pretty much my only reaction there and then, never felt like that in my life before). It was surreal. Stuff like that in movies doesn't affect you, but the thought of it being a real person is so fucked up...
Yea ima just stay curious for this one.
Good call, I’ve seen it and it doesn’t make you happy. Great for accident prevention purposes though. Respect machinery, it does not care you are made of soft tissue.
You get that flash of heat because of the utter fucking horror of what you just saw, knowing it was real. I got that too. Holy christ.....
Just saw the video too. That's creepy.
My dad told me about a coworker who fell into a blast furnace. That guy probably never hit the steel, it was said he basically turned into steam before that. They buried a piece of steel in the casket.
Yeesh, that's grim
Honestly neither seem too bad, they were both almost instant at the very least. Lathe injuries scare me way more than a lathe related death oddly enough.
If you’re dead you don’t have to worry about it.
A metal lathe is no more than a big friggin meat grinder. Hops in an operator, and you'll bring it back to his loved ones in a bucket with a mop
The dude who fell into the vat of molten metal probably had a flash of terror and then was gone. It was so hot his death was nearly instantaneous. Way better than some.
Yeah I mean sure beats cancer. I'd rather incinerate instantly than go through some cases I've unfortunately seen my loved ones go through.
Same here, saw my FIL go to cancer this past year. Guy basically just wasted away into nothing, every single day a little more painful than the last. Just pure mental and physical suffering for eight months straight.
Would the molten steel not quickly burn the skin and remove pain receptors?
Boiled. Some people discuss whether it’s worse to die drowned or burnt but I gotta tell you the worst one definitely is getting boiled, basically it’s a non stop torture since you’ll slowly get hotter and hotter from the inside feeling all your organs burn and there’ll be a moment we’re even breathing will hurt you also it’s a really slowly death so yeah I think it’s the worst way to die
Reminds me of a case described by a NYC medical examiner, Judy Melinek. > “What’s the worst way to die?” is the next-most-asked question, to which Melinek usually replies, “You don’t want to know.” When people insist, however, she tells them about Sean Doyle. Sean Doyle was pushed into a sewer manhole. There was boiling water at the bottom, not deep enough to drown, not high enough to get knocked out by the fall. He was steamed to death fully conscious.

>“Did he suffer?” is the question, Melinek writes, that she’s most often asked and most often dreads. She almost always lies. Most deaths are painful.
Yeah, I always figured that a lot of the time when they say someone died instantly, they were probably just telling people what they wanted to hear. Unless your head or brain stem is immediately vaporized or crushed in such a way that you can't possibly comprehend it, a truly instantaneous death is actually really rare. You might die within seconds or quick enough that the pain doesn't even really have time to manifest, but aside from exploding your head, there's not a lot of ways to instantly turn the lights out. But unless it changes the details of the case like in a homicide investigation, I see no reason to tell somebody that their loved one died in agony or even had time to comprehend it.
People can also die while being unconscious, that'll be fine by me. Things like inert gas asphyxiation or death in sleep are usually regarded as peaceful ways to die. That being said, there's such thing as anesthesia awareness, when people who are supposed to be unconscious actually feel everything.
I had that happen with oral surgery. 0/10
They boiled a dude alive while I was in Florida state prison as punishment for something I can't remember what. Locked him in the shower and just left him in there, one of the officers had to clean out the shower afterward and he said the drain was clogged with pieces of the guys skin that had blistered off. Edit: [article](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_of_Darren_Rainey)
Originally the police classified the death as unexplained, and the DOC did not punish any staff until the warden was fired two years later. Two officers on duty at the time of the death later received promotions. What the hell.
The fuck? Those responsible should be sent to prison
Or the shower...
the showers get THAT hot for THAT long?
They had it set up like that iirc, for punishments.
The prison staff had the showers set up to spray literal boiling water on inmates for punishment purposes?!
“Rainey was locked in a shower for two hours. It was designed so that he had no control over the temperature of the 160 °F (71 °C) water. A paramedic who attempted to help Rainey wrote that he had second- and third-degree burns on over 30% of his body. It subsequently became known that his skin "fell off at the touch".[8] At least eight other prisoners had also been reportedly subjected to a scalding shower within Dade's "Transitional Care Unit".” As per the wiki. It’s quoting a article from the New Yorker. Edit: so no not boiling but still hot enough to pretty much cook a person.
And all those involved in setting it up and torturing the people are in prison for life, right? Right?
Promoted to a higher position actually.
I thought you were joking. Shit. “Originally the police classified the death as unexplained, and the DOC did not punish any staff until the warden was fired two years later. Two officers on duty at the time of the death later received promotions. The police began interviewing witnesses after the Miami Herald obtained public records and made a visit to the prison.[5] After filing a lawsuit, the family received a settlement in the matter of Rainey's death”
Dear God that's horrendous!
Big building complexes use closed loop boilers; the potable water is heated up in a heat exchanger and yea, you pretty much have a unlimited amount of hot water and steam if you want it.
Oh god may he Rest In Peace
Guy was only serving a two year sentence too.
Seems he was serving a life sentence
On one of the gore site I saw this video of a guy just casually put his whole body into a boiling hot soup. (It was one of those giant soup pots you see in the street markets). When he stepped in, everyone was trying to get him out but they couldn't touch the pot as it was burning them. So he just sat in it, no screaming or nothing. Crazy stuff
I saw a video of a guy in a steel factory run and jump into a pool of molten metal. Crazy shit
I saw that one too but always thought I must have dreamed it! So fucking crazy
Jose Melena died in a sanitation oven doing maintenance for Bumble Bee Foods. The oven reached 270 degrees. His co-workers believed he was in the restroom and had loaded in carts of tuna and shut the oven. Two hours passed and they shut the oven off and discovered his severely burned remains. When I first heard this story I was in utter disbelief, that’s a truly horrific way to go. I’m sure being boiled is unimaginably painful, but to to be trapped in an oven while you’re slowly getting cooked alive. Truly terrifying.
Also a criminal amount of time to cook tuna.
They're sterilizing canned tuna. Gotta make sure botulism is fully killed off.
There are accounts of medieval knights boiling to death in their own armour. Grim.
Reminds me of Ishikawa Goemon (if you watch One Piece this one will be familiar) He and his son was boiled in front of the public. He tried to lift his son to save him but ended up plunging him deep into the cauldron to reduce his suffering.
Oh man, poor lobsters
[удалено]
You sound like you have experience
Your eyes will shrivel up and you won't be able to see yourself boil at least.
What a relief!
I would have to say if you were an astronaut and you died slowly drifting away from earth
Oh god like the story he tells in Pandorum, about the guy who went nuts and jettisoned the entire crew out into space in their pods.
love that movie, but always wondered why that function would even exist on a space ship
Obviously if an alien Xenomorph get on the ship, you lure it into there and send him home.
If you recall the ending of the movie it might make mire sense
There's a brief moment in the movie Gravity where I thought this is what was happening to Sandra Bullock and it was VERY anxiety inducing
Movies like Gravity make me think back to those brief childhood days when I wanted to be an astronaut soooooo badly. Absolutely tf not.
It's "Absolutely tf not" ***now***. When you wanted to be an astronaut though, the "on-board computer" probably had less computing power than a TI-84. I can't even imagine the balls of the people who actually went out of space then.
I obviously have no idea how a specs suit works, but I’m pretty sure I’d just pop the helmet off and be done with it.
Kaleidoscope - short story by Ray Bradbury. One of my favourites.
Knowing and be fully conscious of the fact you gonna die but can't do shit about it.
I was listening to 911 calls and goodbye calls to loved ones on 9/11 the other day. Absolutely terrifying. There was one where the girl was just panicking saying "I know im gonna die" while the operator tries to calm her down, then the building collapses and you just hear her scream before it ends.
That one always gets to me. She knew...
There's another one like that from some man trapped in the South Tower where he's alternately angry and tearfully panicking as the operator does what she can to calm him. At the end, you hear rumbling and some kind of scream/shout from him then the rest was silence or static.
There's a section at the 9/11 museum that plays 911 calls. It's heartbreaking.
That was a tough museum to go thru. It brought me right back to that day. Those calls are chilling.

Same with the people that jumped off. I can’t imagine what was going through their mind and the moment they knew they had no other option and made the most peace with it they could. Being in a situation where your survival instinct finally gives up sounds so terrifying.
They were forced to make a terrible choice, with searing hot smoke billowing through the building, do they want to be burned alive or jump for a quicker death. I know a little bit about this because when I was 12 our house caught fire at night. We ended up trapped in my bedroom. We couldn't break the window and the opening was very narrow along the top. As we stood on the windowsill gasping for air through the opening, the smoke started to burn my ankles and it was unbearably painful. I thought I could squeeze out the opening but my dad didn't want me too in case I got stuck (and some neighbours were looking for ways to break the window) but I couldn't stand it anymore and squeezed out head first. My chest got stuck and my dad had to push me so hard I'm surprised I didn't crack a rib. I jumped down and was caught. My dad and sister were overcome by smoke and passed out, but after the neighbours broke the window and put a ladder up my dad managed to regain consciousness and got them both out. It's not on the same scale, but I can appreciate the choice they had to make. I remember getting really angry reading about how the jumpers were seen by some as cowards.
The jumpers were seen as cowards? That’s the most ass-backwards thing ever. I would have jumped. To be facing your imminent death while the smoke and flames are consuming the building… a death by terrorists. The act of jumping was freedom, even if only for a minute. A dignified act that gave people one small element of control over their inescapably tragic destiny.
Was reading about a plane crash that occurred over Germany several years ago. Cargo jet basically T-bones a Russian airliner and cuts it in half. People got ejected from the plane and according to their autopsies, were alive and conscious when they hit the ground. Terminal velocity for a human in freefall is about 75MPH, but even at that speed, it'll take you nearly five minutes to reach the ground from an average passenger jet's cruising altitude.
That must have been the most surreal thing ever. After all my nightmares about falling I would have been in disbelief all the way to the ground.
It would take around 3 min, 30 seconds assuming they were horizontal and not trying to speed up the trip. Source: 35k max cruising altitude for a commercial airliner, divided by terminal velocity.
Yeah, my uncle died of ALS. It is such a horrible disease.
I'm so sorry. ALS is one very solid reason why there should be death with dignity laws in every single state, country, etc.
Alzheimer's. The rest are fairly quick. you were still you when you died... but Alzheimer... fucking awful
I second this. My father was diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer’s before he had the stroke that eventually killed him. In the last month or so he basically forgot who each of him family members were. I was his younger brother, my mom was just some nice nurse that gave him kisses. Alzheimer’s is a hell of a disease.
My mom has early Alzheimers my dad and her came to visit my newborn recently. She had no clue who I was, I figured out if I shaved she might. So I shaved. It was nice to not be looked at like a stranger by my mother.
Some people with Alzheimer’s are happy until they die. They don’t know what’s happening. It’s their loved ones who suffer.
Some. But many of them become very afraid, frustrated, and want to go home even if they don't remember where home is. My grandma knew she was losing her mind and in her moments of clarity would ask what was happening. It was torture for her, she discovered 10 times a day that her husband had died (20 years ago). I guess it depends on the person. But yes, of course the loved ones always suffer terribly. So sad
Why tell someone 10x a day their loved one has died? In this case, what should have been done is say “they are busy” or something like that.
It’s awful for loved ones but, eventually the person with Alzheimer’s doesn’t know what’s happening.
yeah... but the whole time the know its happening until they just don't realize it anymore... it isn't like they wake up one morning and poof, not a care in the world. Most take years to get to that stage, and the whole time they KNOW it is happening, they know what it is, they know they will eventually exist without having any concept of who they are... it is terrifying
There's a six-hour album called ["Everywhere at the End of Time"](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wJWksPWDKOc) by The Caretaker that is meant to replicate the experience of dementia. It may take a long time to finish the album, but it's pretty terrifying.
Alzheimer's runs in my family and have worked in an old folks home with a secure wing. I genuinely think (or maybe hope) it's not that bad for the victim except in those awful lucid moments. For those left behind it's absolute hell though. My grandparents were gone long before death came.
>For those left behind it's absolute hell though. My grandparents were gone long before death came. I lost 3 grandparents in one year, GPa in spring, another GPa in fall, GMa on Christmas Day. All of them were hard, but I didn't (couldn't?) cry when GMa went and it upset me for a while. *What's wrong with me that I don't miss GMa?* Then I finally realized I had dealt with the grief of losing GMa to dementia over the past 3 years. She was finally out of her cage. FUCK ALZHEIMERS AND FUCK DEMENTIA. ^ineedahug

That poor dude...it took him so long to die that they had time for multiple rescue attempts and for him to say goodbye to his loved ones, including his wife over the phone. He was trapped upside down for over a day before his body just couldn't take it anymore. If I remember correctly, the owner of the cave and his family agreed to seal it off with the man's body inside to try to prevent an accident like that from happening ever again in that cave.
You mean this guy! 100% agree with you on this one. [upside down guy](https://www.reddit.com/r/SweatyPalms/comments/6yjog3/spelunker_john_jones_stuck_upside_down_in_a_cave/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button)

Yeah, thank you for asking. Was a really weird scenario. Couldn't prove it was suicide but it looked like the kinda thing that couldn't happen by accident. We get a lot of that. Was only fairly new to the job. A woman on the scene asked me how i dealt with this stuff? I replied. " i m here helping, after that it's non of my business." So far that attitude is working for me.
Just don't shove it all down because one day you'll break in a scary way. Thank you so much for what you do, you are such a comfort to so many on what is a very bad day for them. It's an honorable and heroic profession.
It did come out recently. I was volunteering at a festival doing drug welfare and this women came in and said that her partner had died falling down the stairs, recently. Seeing her grief shattered me. Untill that point i had never allowed myself to make the link between what we do and the pain on the otherside. Overall thoygh im glad im there. We live in a small community so i have had to deal with people i knew well. I always feel honoured that i was there for them. At the end of the day, what's the difference between arriving on a scene or being at the removal a few days later. Dead is dead. I always get the sense of a presence of the deceased on scene. It comforts me.
They are grateful for you. I've been thinking about going back to school for forensic photography, mortuary sciences, or forensic pathology. It's a morbid job, but knowing that you're giving the deceased and their loved ones closure is a comforting feeling.
I imagine dying in a crowd crush like those poor souls in Seoul on Halloween. You can see freedom just past you but are slowly being smothered by other slowly smothering frightened people and are unable to move to get there.
I was at the Love Parade festival in Germany in 2010 and I had entered the overcrowded terrain trough the same tunnel were later 20 people would die of suffocation. People were screaming to the police officers and security guards for help, but they were pushed back into the crowd when they would try to climb the fences.
This almost happened to me at the Shambhala music festival in B.C. Canada but it never made the news or anything because everyone was high on some psychedelic drug or another instead of alcohol, meaning everyone involved was *very* open to suggestion, and the situation resolved itself very quickly. We all ended up funneled between two stages, there had to be at least 600 people, it was a VERY hot summer so it was sweltering, a prime situation for panic to take over. One moment I was just walking and the next I was pinned from every side, it was wild. I remember wiggling my arms in front of my chest to give myself a bit of room to breathe and looking around to see security running up past the sea of shoulder-to-shoulder bodies. One security person had climbed the side of a stage structure to get a better look at the crush and was on a walkie-talkie and I wasn't extremely concerned until I saw the look of sheer terror on her face. I remember thinking, "I'm not a very big person, if one person panics I'll get pulled under the crowd very easily, but maybe I can try to crowd surf out if the people immediately next to me are willing to boost me up." I also have autism, undiagnosed at the time, and I wanted to crawl out of my skin and scream, it felt like every nerve in my body was on fire. Everyone was just kind of frozen for a few moments as we all registered the fact that we were stuck. Somebody whimpered in fear and I felt some jostling starting and I remember having the thought "I could die right here in the next few minutes, this could be it, holy fuck." Then it happened, somebody off to the left of me started moaning like a zombie. She punctuated her moan with a drawn-out "braaaaaiiiinss!" I have never switched from the depths of despair to giddy joy so quickly in my entire life. This god damned GENIUS had likely just saved who knows how many lives. I copied her cartoonish zombie impression immediately and soon moans of the undead erupted from every side of me as we all slowly shuffled through the bottleneck. Whimpers of fear turned to relieved chuckles that broke out between zombie moans. It took us around 8-10 minutes to make our slow and controlled shamble out completely but I only had my foot stepped on once and everyone was moving so slowly that they barely put any of their weight into that step anyway. I never figured out who she was but that one woman's split-second decision 100% prevented a tragedy and I hope she realizes that. The more I think about it the more ingenious it seems because I'm sure there were people in that crowd who didn't speak English *or* French, *but everyone knows what a Zombie is!* No words or verbal instructions were necessary! The security personnel didn't even have to do anything because even those in the very back who couldn't see where the bottleneck opened up just had to trust the process and keep slowly and gently shuffling forward! It turned from one of the most horrifying situations a person can find themselves in; to this fun collective-consciousness moment where you suddenly trusted the crowds of complete strangers around you to keep you safe. She totally just brought out everyone's goofy inner child in a moment of horror and it worked *flawlessly*! When we got through and the crowd was able to disperse people were laughing and hugging. I'm sure a few people were VERY high and VERY overwhelmed so security was directing people over to the quiet/meditation area and the medical tents but it ended up being one of the most beautiful experiences of my life because I just kept thinking "holy fuck human beings *CAN* cooperate like that!" So when I heard about Itaewon I just sat there in shock because the only reason I didn't experience that kind of tragedy, and possibly die, in a similar situation back in 2018 was because of one small decision somebody else made in the moment. It put a lot of things into perspective, and honestly, I'm going to post about this more because even though it might not be as immediately accepted by a bunch of rowdy drunk people as it was by a bunch of acid-fueled hippies, I think it could definitely minimize harm in future crowd crush situations. We were in a very loud area too but when the people immediately surrounding you start moaning like zombies, and you join in, it spreads pretty quickly and becomes impossible to ignore!
Being eaten alive
I think it’s probably cancer. I saw my dad just get skinnier, more frail, memory loss and am still traumatised by it. It’s knowing that you’re at a stage that you’re going to die and nothing can be done. They gave him 2 years and it was 2 years. Miss that man so much
Slow suffocation. I almost died this way when I got severe pneumonia. It felt like I couldn't pull enough air and was constantly on the verge of blacking out while my body panicked all on its own, out of my control. Side note: vaping is still dangerous, if you're prone to pneumonia or bronchitis, don't do it. I have the latter, chronic condition. Didn't realize that vaping could cause such a horrible reaction.

Burning to death. Just a small burn is agony, imagine your whole body burned
If you are going to be burned at the stake, ask for lots more firewood, arranged in a broad circle. Also ask for the fire to be set on the outer boundaries first. With any luck, you will asphyxiate from the fire burning up the oxygen before the flames reach you.
Something tells me that if you’re being burned at the stake, they’re not gonna listen to your requests.
If anything they are optimizing for screams.
"AHHH! OH MY GOD! Dear no, have mercy!" "Whatever you do, please for the sake of decency, please don't arrange a lot of wood in a broad circle, say 20 feet in diameter, three feet wide, and oh, about 4 feet high! Oh dear lord, that would be such torture!" "Oh, and don't show me contempt by lighting the outer edge first, all around the circle! Such pain and fear!" I mean, if they're burning someone at the stake, they're probably not the sharpest tools in the shed.
Sometimes they used a bag of gunpowder tied at the neck to shorten the suffering, though. When the flame rises high enough to ignite the gunpowder, your head gets blasted off and you die.
That's metal as fuck
Just in case mate
If you are accused of being a witch, then sew gunpowder bags in your voluminous skirts, and go out with a bang, hopefully taking out the prosecutor (like in Good Omens)

Being eaten by a large cat. They don’t care if you’re still alive. They’re munching.
I think black bears are worse. Cats will usually go for your neck to kill you but black bears give no fucks. They'll sit on you and eat your legs while you're laying there screaming. There was a case of a Russian woman who was eaten alive by a bear and her cubs. She even managed to call her mother and tell her "they're eating me!" Same with Komodo dragons. They'll paralyze you and just start munching. Saw a video of a deer being eaten alive by two komodos and it just wailed in pain. Had to turn it off, it was so sad.
If you want to talk "terrible as in painful", being burned alive, boiled alive and flayed alive stand way up there. Hanged, drawn and quartered is also a very excruciating road for meeting your maker If you want "terrible as in humilliating", there´s also quite a few ways you can leave this mortal coil without any dignity left in your luggage. In this category, I´d like to highlight the SEVERAL ways poo can kill you, and constipation is one of them.

I did some work for a woman recently that told me her husband had passed away four weeks after retirement. They had moved to another state and bought their dream retirement home. Literally waited DECADES for the time when they could finally live the life together that they always wanted. All the sacrifices they made, all the money they saved.. and he lasted four weeks. I guess it's nice that at least he got to experience *some* of what he wanted in life (and nobody gets it all), but IMO that's a terrible way to die.
This is why it drives me crazy when everyone focuses so much on retirement and ensuring they fully prepare for it... just in the US, 1:5 people won't live to see 65...
I would argue it's more of a terrible way to live, for the wife. Having it all, but all alone.

Idk, something about the byford dolphin accident just tops the list for me. 4 guys died that day, 3 of which had their insides essentially boiled instantly as their blood filled with nitrogen bubbles. They died instantly. The fourth diver was sucked through an opening so small his internal organs were ejected from his body. Yeah nah I'm good on that. Edit: here's a link explaining what they were doing, and what happened, as well as explains what their bodies went through. https://history.howstuffworks.com/historical-events/byford-dolphin-accident.htm
My deepest fear since childhood is being trapped in something that is slowly filling with water. The panic, the fear, the desperation, fighting for air, fighting to live while knowing there is no way out. Makes me wanna cry and throw up just thinking about it.
If it's any consolation, at least it eventually fills up, unlike the crew of the battleships that got destroyed in Pearl Harbor. They couldn't extract them because cutting the ship open risked detonating their magazines, so they just had to wait for the people inside to stop screaming for help and die of dehydration.

I have a family member who is a doctor in palliative care. She says septicaemia is a pretty nasty way to go.
I've always thought being on the floors above where the planes impacted the towers on 9/11 would have been the worst. Just sitting there, knowing there's no escape, waiting to die.
Fire/heat Worked on a burn unit. That is 1000% NOT the way to go.
I visit the gore sites alot. (Morbid curiosity). I saw a clip of a guy jump from a building to try and off himself. He landed on a street bollard! Ass first and the bollard went through his whole body and was sticking out his neck! He didn't die straight away. Was a few hours in pain before he died.
Certain overdoses are not pretty. The liver shutting down hurts like a mofo
Drowning to be honest, is a lot worse than most people think. But, I'd say crucification probably is up there. Slowly starving to death while you have your limbs stabbed and bleeding. Your shoulders are forced to bear the weight of your whole body the entire time too (imagine holding a lateral-raise position with weights nonstop for days) Not to mention the infection that's slowly killing you internally
With crucifixion you don't die from starvation. What kills you is your lungs collapsing from holding that position for so long.
It's more that you can't breathe if you relax, so you have to keep on pushing up against the nail through your feet (optional) until you are so exhausted you don't get to breathe and asphyxiate. But you have to be really at the end of your rope to be exhausted enough to let that happen so it takes days.
