Warning: this video has only informative purposes Have you ever wondered how it is to die in some specifics situations? Check now what people feel near their last minutes of life Warning: the following sensations were based on studies and reports from surviving victims The Drwning "Drwning can not be one of the most painful deaths of a person, But it surely is one of the most agonizing due to a huge feeling of panic. .

. . .

. When you're not able to breath. " As described by the physiologist and expert in marine survival from the University of Portsmouth in the United Kingdom, Mike Tipton.

"The majority of deaths by drowning in the sea are extremely rough events, Where two thirds of the victims are recognized as good swimmers. Then, a desperate struggle beggins to keep their heads above water (surface struggle), Their attempts to gasp for air prevent them to scream for help. Often, their bodies are found upright with lightly closed hands, As if trying to grab an invisible ladder.

When the victims eventually submerge, they try to hold their breath for as long as possible Typically during 30 to 90 seconds. Then they inhale water, cough and inhale even more water. As it happens, the water in the lungs blocks blood oxygenation.

There is a feeling of tearing and burning as the water goes down into the airway. Then there's a feeling of calmness and tranquillity. " Says Tipton, Based on reports of survivers.

The tranquillity is the result of the lack of oxygen to the brain, Which results in the heart stopping and brain death. Decapitation Although it seems macabre, decaptation is one of the most fast and painless deaths, Of couse, if it's properly executed. But even when using specialized devices, like a guillotine, There will always remain some seconds of consciousness after cutting the spine.

In a study in mice in 1991, they found out that their brain takes 2,7 seconds to finish consuming its oxygen supply, Which when transformed into human proportions it can take about 7 seconds of consciousness. During the several executions in the French Revolution, there were reports on the movement of eyebrows and eyes, About 30 seconds after the decapitation, but it's more likely to be just after death reflections. Fire Whether in the nightmarish fires of the inquisition or in a fire, To burn is one of the most painful ways to die.

Immediately, the heat and the smoke burn the eyebrows and hair, Going down to the throat and airway after that. When it reaches the skin, the fire produces a high response from the nervous system, Which is further aggravated by the tissue's inflamation. As the skin gets damaged it loses sensibility, but it doesn't mean it's not an excruciating experience.

Third degree burns don't hurt as much as the second degree ones, once the superficial nerves got destroyed, But the difference is almost semantic. "Large burns are horribly painful at any instance", explains Dr David Herndon From the University of Texas. But, ironically, in a fire, the biggest risk aren't the flames, but the toxic gas.

Indeed, a norwegian study in 1996 found that of 286 victims of deadly fires, 75% died of poisoning from carbon monoxide. Depending on the concentration, it can lead to headache, dizziness and after that, loss of consciousness in a few minutes. Moreover, according to the NFPA, 40% of the victims of deadly fires lose their senses before they can awake from a dream.

The cardiac arrest Heart attacks can seem like a natural way to die in comparison of executions and accidents, But it also can be one of the most painful ones. While some can be fulminant, in the majority of the cases the symptoms happen with six hours of advance, That are often misunderstood by the victims, specially women, who mistake it with tiredness, indigestion or cramps. These include chest pain, that feels like pressure or a clench, since the patients discribe it as if an "elephant sat on them".

The pain can be so acute that runs through the jaw, throat, back and arms. To look for medical assistance is essential, but only 85% of the patients that come to the hospital in time survive, Those that feel their heart stopping, lose the consciousness after 10 seconds, dying minutes later. Hemorrhage To bleed to death, depending on the case, can not be as horrible as it seems.

According to Dr John from the University of Calgary, in Alberta, Canada, "If a person cuts the aorta in an accident, he or she will die in seconds, However, if it's an artery or minor veins, the process can take hours, the person will go through the different stages of an hemorrhagic shock. Considering that an adult has about 5 liters of blood, a loss of 750 mililiters can cause mild symptoms, If you raise to 1,5 liters, the person will feel weak, thirsty and anxious, breathing quickly, After 2 liters, the feeling is of confusion, dizziness and eventually unconsciousness. Hemorrhagic shock survivers describe diferent feelings, that vary from fear to calmness.

A big part of that depends on how serious the injuries were, A wound that penetrates the femoral artery in the leg can be less painful than several wounds caused in an car accident. " Explains John. Electrocution If we are talking about domestic accidents, the death happens from the heart stopping caused by the discharge.

In a study in the canadian city of Montreal, we found out that 92% of the victims of electrocution in their homes died from irregular heartbeat, That causes unconsciousness in 10 seconds. A circuit of high voltage, however, causes instant unconsciousness, and that's what the prisoners executed in the electric chair know better, They had their heart and brain stopped immediatly, what was considered an advance in comparison of deaths from hanging. But investigators didn't agree if the method would be that merciful as some said, in many cases the prisioners had to suffer several shocks to have their lives ended, And some even burned in a fire produced by the heat of the electricity.

Falling from heights This method is most commonly used by suicidals and homocidals and also accidents. To fall from heights is one of the most fast and effective ways to die, A study in Hamburg, Germany, says that 75% of the victims die a few seconds or minutes after the fall, With speeds that can reach until 200 km/h, in a height of 145 meters or more. The death's cause depends on the type of terrain or the way the person falls, Normally, the most harsh falls are the ones that the victim falls and hit the head first, Common in short precipitations with less than 10 meters, or way too high with more than 25 meters.

The analysis of 100 suicidal falls from the San Francisco Bridge, in a height of 75 meters and speed of 120 km/h, Revealed that the majority of the deaths happened because of traumas, like collapsed lungs, cardiac explosion or several injuries caused by broken ribs. Those that survived the falls reported that as they fell, they felt the time pass slower, And an instinctive reaction is land with the feet, which often results in broken legs, spine and pelvis, But there's a better chance to survive due to the protection of internal organs. The lethal injection Created in 1977 as an humanitarian alternative to the electric chair, the lethal injection is an execution method in the USA, That consists in 3 drugs successively administrated, there's an anesthetic followed by a dose of pancuronium, As an paralyzing of the respiratory system, and finally potassium chloride, that stops the heart almost instantly.

Tecnically the process should result in a fast and pacific death, But there are some reports of witnesses that in many cases the defendants suffered seizures or tryied to get up when recieved the last drugs. According to Dr Leonidas from the Miller School of Medicine in Miami, that happens because the anesthetics are insufficient for the rougher prisoners. Leonidas says that people in this awful situation will experience a suffocating sensation after the lungs paralysis, And a pain that feels like a burn because of the potassium chloride.

Because of that, the execution via lethal injection is being analyzed by the Supreme Court of the USA. Hanging Method used by many suicidals and executioners, The death by hanging normally happens as soon as the pressure around the neck blocks the blood supply to the brain, Causing loss of consciousness in 10 seconds. However, hanging is far from being a pacific way to die, At your better chance, the body weight will make the rope break the neck, between the first and second spinal bone.

Worst case scenario, a badly made knot will cause a slow and painful death, Suffocating the victims for about 15 minutes. Explosive decompression It's a destiny that only a few of us will be exposed to, unless we're swimmers, pilots, astronauts, The death by decompression is worthy of a science fiction ending. The death happens when the air pressure around us decreases suddenly, Expanding the lungs and tearing the delicate tissues that allows the gas exchange.

If the victim doesn't breathe, or try to hold the breath before the decompression, The brain damage can be even bigger. The blood and lungs oxygen begins to decrease, While the body begins to swell from the water evaporation of the tissues. Finally, the steam bubbles of the water floods the blood flow, Blocking the blood circulation.

Within 1 minute the respiratory system stops. Survivers, victims of decompression, which include pilots and a NASA's expert, Indicate that first you feel a chest pain, as if you were beaten, Then you realize the air escapes from the lungs and you're incapable of breathing. Finally, you lose consciousness after 15 seconds.

Although the incident's seriousness, experiences with animals in the 60's, Showed that if the victim is pressurized once again in less than 90 seconds, She or he has more chances to survive without any permanet damages. What about you? What's the worst way to die?
