Death

Death: Scientists Reveal What It's Like To Die

Drowning:

Victims first panic and try to hold their breath, typically for 30 to 90 seconds. Survivors have reported a "tearing and burning" sensation as water enters the lungs - but it is quickly followed by a feeling of calmness and tranquility. Oxygen deprivation results in loss of consciousness, the heart stopping and brain death.

Heart attack:

A "squeezing" chest pain, or feeling of pressure, is the most common symptom as the heart muscle struggles for oxygen. Disruption of the normal heart rhythm effectively stops the heart beating. Loss of consciousness can occur in about 10 seconds and death can follow minutes later.

Loss of blood:

Marked by several stages of "haemorrhagic shock". Anyone losing 1.5 litres of blood feels weak, thirsty and anxious. By the time two litres are lost, people experience dizziness, confusion and eventual unconsciousness.

Electrocution:

A household electric shock might stop the heart, leading to unconsciousness after around 10 seconds. Higher currents through the heart or brain can produce almost immediate unconsciousness. However, it has been claimed that prisoners executed with the electric chair may actually have died from heating of the brain or suffocation.

Fall from a height:

Survivors of great falls often report the sensation of time slowing down. A study of 100 suicide jumps from San Francisco's 246-ft-high Golden Gate Bridge found numerous cases of instantaneous death involving collapsed lungs, exploded hearts or damage to organs from broken ribs.

Hanging:

Hanging suicides and old-fashioned executions cause death by strangulation. This can lead to unconsciousness in 10 seconds but a poorly placed noose may result in many minutes of suffering. "Long drop" hangings are designed to break the neck. But a study of the remains of 34 prisoners executed in this way found that four-fifths died partly from asphyxiation.

Fire:

Burns inflict intense pain, and boost the skin's pain sensitivity. As superficial nerves are destroyed, some feeling is lost - but not much, according to experts. But most people who die in fires are actually killed by inhaling toxic gases and asphyxiation.

Decapitation:

Beheading can be swift and painless but consciousness is believed to continue for a short time after the spinal cord is severed. Experts have calculated that the brain might remain functioning for seven seconds. Reports from guillotine executions in France cited cases where movements of the eyes and mouth were seen for up to 30 seconds.

Kinda interesting. Didn't expect drowning to be so..serene. Always had a fear of drowning as a kid, almost did once, and even the thought of it makes me a little jittery. The burningness of oxygen deprivation is a feeling I can still remember with great detail. Anyone here ever had death knocking at their door and can relate to any of these experiences?

apparently you turn into a one armed blow up doll moments before death.

i've always been fascinated by the guillotine thing. It'd be so strange to feel the sensation of being detached from your bodily weight

xxx to thread

You could cry to death i think. Dehydration. I'd like to hear a scientist go in depth about that.

Banning:

When banning first occurs, the user is confused as to why they cannot access the forums. This is followed by some desperate attempts to 'troubleshoot' using another browser, clearing cookies, deleting cache, etc., and in some extreme cases, rebooting the computer. Once the user realizes that he or she has been banned, feelings of sadness, anger, or sometimes, in the case of a dupe account, a feeling of apathy washes over the user. Most users who are mature simply move on, while others plead with the Admin of the forum to reinstate their account by any means. The desperate and/or Trolls will start looking at alternate ways of re-registering to gain access again.

haha nice one JR

I believe suffocation is the most peaceful and euphoric way to die. Like oxygen being cut off or carbon dioxide/monoxide being pumped in.
